How to output namespace in T4 templates?

c#, code-generation, t4, visual-studio

Solution

If you're using Visual Studio 2010, you can retrieve the namespace by checking the CallContext's "NamespaceHint" property.

System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.CallContext.LogicalGetData("NamespaceHint");

Problem

I have a T4 template for a class set up with TextTemplatingFileGenerator Custom Tool in Visual Studio: ``` <#@ template language="C#v3.5" hostspecific="True" debug="True" #> <# var className = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(Host.TemplateFile); var namespaceName = "MyNamespace"; #> namespace <#= namespaceName #> { public static class <#= className #> { // some generated code } } ``` How can I get the value of the "Custom Tool Namespace" property in Visual Studio, so I don't have to hardcode the namespace? I would even be happy with the default namespace for the C# project.
