Is anyone using the built-in code generation provided via text templates (using .tt files)? If so what are the main pro’s/con’s over other solutions like codesmith?
the T4 generation was pretty woeful in 2005. Apparently it’s OK in 2008, but we went with Codesmith, as this was before 2005.
I assume that you will have seen the T4 editor? There’s a free edition from Clarius. Also, there’s a great wealth of information here in Oleg’s blog.
My understanding is that you could get T4 to work and that it’s fit for purpose, but that CodeSmith is a bit more mature.
