For what purposes have YOU used T4?
code-generation, t4, visual-studio
Solution
I've used the T4 Templates within the sharp-architecture to generate everything from models to controllers to basic views.
Definitely worth checking out, even if you just want to see some advanced examples of T4 templates in action
Problem
T4 has existed for several years in Visual Studio, but doesn't get a lot of attention. However, for those that know it, there seems to be some very creative and useful purposes. I am researching some different ways that T4 is used, and I would appreciate to hear how YOU may have used it for real life scenarios. I am primarily interested in non-standard and creative uses. Some interesting examples: - Phil Haack uses T4 to create static CSS files from .less - To Generate WPF and Silverlight Dependency Properties using T4 Templates Note: I realize this is a discussion-oriented question, but the answers could be helpful to others. I have tagged it as subjective and also marked as "community wiki", so please allow the question to remain open. Thanks!
