I've used SubSonic's ActiveRecord T4 templates in a couple of projects. Today I added the same templates from one of these projects (without the generated .cs source files) to a new project. For some reason when I run the T4 template code generator, instead of generating: ActiveRecord.cs, Context.cs, StoredProcedures.cs and Structs.cs...

T4 is the "official" code generation engine for C#/VB.NET. But F# doesn't support it (this is from April, but I couldn't find any newer mentions). So what is a good way to generate F# code? EDIT: I want to implement 2-3 finger trees in F#. I already have implemented them in C#, so this should be a nice comparison. The "digits" and node...
Hi Everybody, I have a funtion named IterateThroughChildren() and I want to write the code to emit the code from inside of that function. Normally the code block is included inside <# #> and custom functions are included inside <#+ #>, we emit our code inside <#= #> block.

By basic T4 template, I mean not using T4 Toolkit or any of the add-ins. My T4 is getting a little complicated, but I'd like to keep in self-contained for now. Is there a way have functions in your T4 template, without referencing external assemblies? ...
I would like to implement the repository pattern, having my domain classes being independent from my repository implementation. but maintain my domain classes -on schema updates using EF for example- is really expensive. Do you know someway to automatize domain classes updates based on the ORM classes? -using T4 templates or something ...
I'd like to use some T4 templates to generate html files derived from a sql server (in this case) database schema. For each table in the database, I would like to create 2 files: tableName_List.aspx - would contain the appropriate html to display in an asp.net GridView, with a grid column defined for each db table column tableName_Ed...
I just switched to the Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate Release Candidate, from Beta 2, and the T4 generator that I've been using doesn't work anymore. When I run it, I get an error message that says: "Failed to resolve include text for file:The path '\L2ST4.ttinclude' must be either local to this computer or part of your trusted zo...

I am using T4 for generation of some DTO classes + mappers. I am splitting the files in a number of re-usable bits (some of which containing common methods, some others common procedures) and including them into the T4 templates that will produce my output - which is all good. My problem is that the re-usable .tt files will try and pro...
I am playing around with creating a T4 template for the "DDL Generation Template option" (model first) process in Visual Studio 2010 RC. Is it possible to retrieve the connection string that is associated with that process? If I right click on the .edmx file and choose "Generate Database from Model..." I have the option of choosing a da...
At a consulting assignment they are using Subsonic 3.x (latest) which uses the T4 Code Templating Engine (rather than CodeSmith like 2.x did) When we run it on our DBMS that has ~ 1 thousand tables we run into an error generating the Structs.cs file. T4/Subsonic generates fine on smaller DBs.... An Exception was thrown while running th...
