T4MVC 2.6.20, and upcoming T4MVC talk at MvcConf - Angle Bracket Percent - Site Home - MSDN Blogs

raju 1041 days, 6 hours, 30 minutes ago

I just pushed T4MVC out to the MvcContrib CodePlex site. You can go to the T4MVC Home Page to get started with it. Last time I blogged about a T4MVC release was for 2.6.13. In the mean time, I released 2.6.14 and 2.6.15, but they were minor updates so I just tweeted them. You can check out the history page to see what they changed. Now, 2.5.20 brings a more interesting new feature, so I figured I’d blog it. (more)

Check out Chirpy, a very cool Add-In to run T4MVC and do many other cool things - Angle Bracket Percent

Just a quick post to point folks to a very cool CodePlex Add-In that you may not know about. It’s called Chirpy and can be downloaded from http://chirpy.codeplex.com/. The reason I discovered it is that it includes functionality to automatically run T4MVC. In fact, it is basically the new version of the Add-In by Wayne Brantley that I blogged about a few months back. Wayne has been working on this with Evan Nagle, who is the main owner. (more)

T4MVC Extension for MVC Partials – Evan Nagle

T4MVC is a helpful template for your MVC projects. You can follow the directions on David’s blog to get started; that should give you a quick understanding of what T4MVC is capable of. If you’ve yet to experience the joy of writing T4 templates, you should also check out Scott Hanselman’s Blog and Oleg Sych’s blog. You know what they say: if you haven’t been to Oleg’s T4 blog, you haven’t really “experienced... (more)

An even better way to run T4MVC: a VS AddIn - David Ebbo's blog

published 1162 days, 22 hours, 47 minutes ago posted by

mithu 1164 days, 6 hours, 37 minutes ago

An even better way to run T4MVC: a VS AddIn Last week, I blogged about a nice way of auto-running T4MVC by using the Macro IDE to write an OnBuildBegin event handler. This was a big improvement over the hacky ‘AlwaysKeepTemplateDirty’ flag that we’ve been using since T4MVC’s early days. Since then, Wayne Brantley has taken this idea to the next level by turning it into a Visual Studio AddIn. Check out his post and give it a try! The nice benefits of the AddIn over directly handling VS events in the ... (more)

T4MVC Add-In to auto run template

T4MVC is a fantastic solution to avoid 'Magic Strings' in ASP.NET MVC. Thanks to David Ebbo for this contribution which has made its way to MVCContrib. Must keep T4 template open and save it once.This has been the only negative thing about the template. I thought about writing an Add-In for VS to do this and even taked to David about doing it. Well, his latest post has inspired me to write one. I took my dot net less plug in and ripped nearly everything out of it, threw in about 5 lines of new ... (more)

Angle Bracket Percent : A better way to auto-run T4MVC when you build - David Ebbo's blog

published 1169 days, 4 hours, 49 minutes ago posted by

mithu 1169 days, 21 hours, 45 minutes ago

T4MVC has always struggled with finding the right way of running automatically when you build. Being a T4 template in your project, by default it just runs when you save it. This is not great, because you really want it to rerun whenever you make a change that affects it: e.g. new controller action, new static file, … So I had come up with a pretty crazy workaround (the AlwaysKeepTemplateDirty flag), described in details in this previous post (under “The ...

Angle Bracket Percent : T4MVC 2.6.13: now officially in MvcContrib, with a few new features - David Ebbo's blog

mithu 1171 days, 6 hours, 52 minutes ago

A few weeks back, we announced (mostly on Twitter) that T4MVC was moving into the MvcContrib Codeplex project. I didn’t say much about it at the time because there wasn’t a whole lot to say yet, in the sense that the move had not actually happened. MvcContrib was transitioning from github to Mercurial, and since I wasn’t familiar with either one, I figured I’... (more)

Extreme ASP.NET - Text Template Transformation Toolkit and ASP.NET MVC

published 1210 days, 21 hours, 50 minutes ago posted by

ali62b 1214 days, 13 hours, 46 minutes ago

Microsoft Visual Studio includes a code generation engine known as T4 (which is short for Text Template Transformation Toolkit). You’ve probably already used T4 templates in Visual Studio without even knowing they were working behind the scenes. In this article I’m going to give you a basic introduction to T4 templates and show you how ASP.NET MVC uses this technology. I’ll also show you how to customize T4 templates to enhance your day-to-day work with the MVC framework. (more)

Angle Bracket Percent : T4MVC 2.6.10: fluent route value API, shorter way to refer to action, and more - David Ebbo's blog

published 1227 days, 4 hours, 43 minutes ago posted by

mithu 1228 days, 22 hours, 5 minutes ago

I just posted build 2.6.10. There were also a few builds in between since I last blogged about 2.6, so this post describes some of those changes (full history here). Fluent route value API As you probably know, T4MVC uses a pattern where the route values are encapsulated using a pseudo-call to a controller action, e.g. Html.ActionLink("Delete Dinner", MV...
