Using T4 code generation, is it possible to access the types defined in the current project?

For a number of reasons, I have to use floats in my code instead of doubles. To use a literal in my code, I have to write something like: float f = 0.75F; or the compiler will barf since it treats just "0.75" as a double. Is there anything I can put in my code or set in Visual Studio that will make it treat a literal like "0.75" as ...
What's the easiest way to get RPC in .NET? I see that there is .NET Remoting and WCF, and according to Wikipedia, WCF is the successor to .NET Remoting. So far, I only tried the remoting stuff, which seems to be pretty simple -- I also didn't hit any problem with the application speed so far. Is .NET remoting really the best way to get ...
I spent a good portion of time last week working on serialization. During that time I found many examples utilizing either the BinaryFormatter or XmlSerializer.

I have learned a good deal of XNA in 2D and have created a good number of the classic games using XNA (Breakout, pong, a platformer, tetris) and feel quite confident about using it. I managed this using guesswork and Microsoft's meager 2D XNA tutorials. However, now I want to begin to learn how to code games in 3D and it seems there is...
When using .NET's Process.SessionId property or the Windows API call ProcessIdToSessionId(), can the result be relied on to be the same throughout the lifetime of the process? i.e. If I want to use this value, do I only have to determine what it is once? ...

Currently, the objects parsed from each XML file will go into a single collection. This collection is also used during parsing, e.g. if a similar object alread...
