Do you know any T4 template which would provide me with bacis DB schema methods and properties (GetTables, GetColumns, MapSqlTypesToClr, etc.)? I know it's easy to retrieve that information, but there are a lot of extra helper functions around it, so why reinvent the wheel? ...

I am increasingly annoyed by the unnecessarily verbose template that is used when I create a new unit test in Visual Studio (using the default, included unit testing framework). Instead of public ImportModelStateTest() { // // TODO: Add constructor logic here // } private TestContext testContextInstance; /// <summary> ///Gets or se...
I'm just starting to get into generating code from a DSL using visual studio and was looking for help in how to get one template to call multiple sub-templates.

I'm trying to wireup some code gen templates to my team's automated build process. Our SCM team doesn't want Visual Studio on our build machine (which I have a hard time arguing with). Is there a way to install the T4 engine without Visual Studio? ...
Hey guys, I am a little confused as to how to get the T4 templates and use them when you pull down the latest code from SVN for Subsonic 3. Are there any instructions anywhere for this or could someone enlighten me? I looked @ the old alpha release and there was a nice _Generated folder that held all of these files. I'm curious what I...
When I'm adding a new strongly-typed view to an ASP.NET MVC project, I can select between different view content templates (Create Details, Edit, List).

I'm trying to use the T4 templates in my MVC project. This screencast suggests just copying the existing T4 templates for MVC into your solution and going from there.

Any tips? <#@ import namespace="SQLDMO" #> is not working. Thanks! ...
In VisualStudio, when you drag and drop a table or an individual column from a data connection in server explorer, a gridview is created. What I want to be able to do is drag and drop the columns to make a quick and dirty detail form to display an individual record. Is this possible in any way? An even better way to do this would be v...
It should parse EDMX file and create a moch/fake to use in Unit tests. The easiest integration would be by using T4 that we already have in VS IDE. Has anybody seen it on the web? Or is maybe writing it on their own? Or is there an OSS in progress doing this? Anybody? ...
