I want to make a blog series about what you can do with .tt files. I do not mean now what cen be generated from edmx( I have blogged about that at
and
http://msprogrammer.serviciipeweb.ro/2010/06/28/ef-automatic-history-of-table-and-t4-files-tt-files/
)
I will start from a .tt template that will be analyzing a class( the ViewModel in MVC terms ) and then,starting from this template,I will generate:
- Loading the class from config file( web / app)
- Generating resx files for translating
- Generating help / tooltip
- Generating logging for all methods ( with an _On convention)
- Generating shallow copy for the class,saving the properties and an Interface ( usually good for DI / Ioc)
- Generating
I expect your suggestions too. What do you have iteratively do in your development( MVC ) more than one time for each ViewModel ( Model) class ?
( this is the .tt file)
