Question

I am learning T4 templates right now, and all examples I got on internet is about using the tables for code generation. I want to use stored procedure result columns to generate automated UI, is it possible? OR I have to create view for same query? in that case, how to read from view?

Thanks in advance.

I got the solution and here is how you can generate a rad grid directly from the sp name

<#
'requires: <#@ assembly name="System.Data" #>
  dim Server as new Server(".\sqlexpress")
    dim database as new Database(server, "xxxx")
    dim strSpName as String= "sp_xxxx"
    Dim dt as System.Data.DataTable= database.ExecuteWithResults("exec sp_GetEquipment").Tables(0)
    dim ctlName as String = "grdEqp"
#>
<telerik:RadGrid ID="grd" runat="server" Skin="Web20" AutoGenerateColumns="false">
<MasterTableView>
<Columns>

<#
    For Each column As System.Data.DataColumn In dt.Columns
#><telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="<#=column.ColumnName #>" HeaderText="<#=column.ColumnName  #>"/>
<#Next#>
</Columns>
                </MasterTableView>
</telerik:RadGrid>
