visual studio - How can we get the T4 template to generate code based on a .cs file that the user is editing? -


i'm trying create t4 template save our developers creating lot of boilerplate code that's necessary in our framework. let's developer creates interface , marks our custom attribute. interface marked custom attribute enhanced additional methods, means t4 template have generate partial classes on fly. however, automatic generation happens on fly , seamlessly, preferably when internal automatic compilation that's used intellisense happens. know how when create new class in visual studio , switch source file , start using class didn't have save or compile it, intellisense able see new class created right away? i'd same automatic behavior code generated t4 template. thoughts?

you cannot want easily, here options ordered easiest want (hardest).

  1. create code snippets

  2. create visual studio item template

  3. use castle dynamicproxy create bits @ run time.

  4. create separate project hold t4 generated classes described in my answer here

  5. as pre-step project build (modify .csproj file this), can compile source code want generated code , reflect on that, generate code , add project before real compile step. msr orleans project does. can read source code here. cool! :-)
