tangible T4 For VS11 Beta

Visual Studio Gallery - tangible T4 Editor plus modeling tools for VS11

"With tangible's T4 Editor FREE EDITION you can author your own Code Generator via Text-Templates (TT-Files) with IntelliSense, Syntax-Highlighting, Automatic T4 Transform on Build. Using the modeling tool you can envision and model your project and later generate from it.

New Development Experience uses Visual Studio Code Editor, allows for Theme Customization, adds Debugging and more.

Quickly write your own .NET Code Generator via T4 Text-Templates (.tt-Files) with Intelli-Sense & Syntax-Highlighting. tangible T4 Editor comes with UML-Style modeling tools and can generate from diagrams, database schemas, xml, word, excel sources, or any other data source. Microsoft T4 looks and smells like ASP.NET - it is simple! T4 is used in ASP.NET MVC, Entity Framework and DSL Tools. The Microsoft T4 Generation Engine is already built into Visual Studio, however Visual Studio does not provide an Code-Editor for it. That is why we created the tangible T4 Editor for Visual Studio. You can now accelerate your projects by adopting Microsoft T4 today and generate the code you need directly from diagrams, database schemas, xml files or other sources - Write less, achieve more.

Please Note: tangible T4 Editor 2.0 requires April VS 11 Beta Updates to be installed

"We got some feedback from users that tangible T4 Editor 2.0 in VS 11 does not work (e.g. coloring only appears when you change code). To solve this please make sure have these VS 11 Beta updates are installed: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=246569. You should be prompted by VS 11 to install them automatically but some users don’t have them. So please check your Version number. When installed your VS Version number should be “Microsoft Visual Studio 11 Version 11.0.50323.1 QRELB”. ..."
