Question

I need a T4 template or something else to integrate with Visual studio to generate relative path of files in solution.

Is their any add-ins or t4 to this?
I’m working with Visual studio 2012.

something like this:

    public static class Scripts
    {
        public static class AdminSkin
        {
            public static class Css
            {
                public const string Site = "/Scripts/adminskin/css/site.css";
                public const string SiteFa = "/Scripts/adminskin/css/site-fa.css"; 
                public const string Reset = "/Scripts/adminskin/css/reset.css";
                public const string SimpleList = "/Scripts/adminskin/css/simple-lists.css";
                public const string SpecialPages = "/Scripts/adminskin/css/special-pages.css";

            }

            public static class Js
            {
                public const string Site = "/Scripts/adminskin/js/site.js";
                public const string JqueryaccessibleList = "/Scripts/adminskin/js/jquery.accessibleList.js";
                public const string Jquerytip = "/Scripts/adminskin/js/jquery.tip.js";
                public const string List = "/Scripts/adminskin/js/list.js";
                public const string Oldbrowsers = "/Scripts/adminskin/js/old-browsers.js";
                public const string LiveControl = "/Scripts/adminskin/js/live-control.js";
            }
        }

        public static class Calendar
        {
            public static class Js
            {
                public const string Calendar = "/Scripts/calendar/calendar.js";

T4MVC might be what you are looking for. It is a T4 template for ASP.NET MVC apps that will create strongly typed helpers. It will generate a set of classes that you can use instead of using strings. For static files such as javascript files there will be a set of classes such as:

Links.Scripts.jquery_validate_js

This will return a string of the form “~/Scripts/jquery.validate.js”.

For a WebForms project David Ebbo created a simple T4 template called AspPathGuru.tt. This currently only supports .aspx, .ascx and .master files. However if you edit the IgnoreFile method, as shown below, you can generate code for other files:

bool IgnoreFile(FileInfo file) {
    // Only look for a few specific extensions
    switch (file.Extension.ToLowerInvariant()) {
        case ".aspx":
        case ".ascx":
        case ".js":
        case ".css":
        case ".master":
            return false;
    }

    return true;
}

This will generate a Paths class you can use as shown below:

Paths.Scripts.jquery_1_4_1_js
