Do You Know About T4 (Text Template Transformation Toolkit) Code Generation In Visual Studio?

« Software development security check list | XPath expressions quick reference: » Do You Know About T4 (Text Template Transformation Toolkit) Code Generation In Visual Studio? by Vahid 14. April 2009 03:15 Working with Microsoft products always has some surprises, now be it a defect, missing functionality or an unknown cool new feature. What’s the story? Well recently i was listening to a DotNetRocks show in which i heard the word “T4” which is something regarding to code generation in Visual Studio 2008! i was like, what is this? How come that i have not heard it before? Anyway I was really surprised. So as a code generation passionate i did some R&D about it and here is the outcome. What is T4? T4**is a code generator built right into Visual Studio. To be clear, we HAVE THIS NOW on our system.**So now is the right time to introduce code generation to our company. this means If we are doing something twice or more, manually, in our project, we should stop it and generate it instead. However, there is an issue with this technology and that’s the fact that Microsoft does not support it completely as of now and this reason why it is kind of hidden in VS. There’s no item templates in File | New Item and there’s no intellisense or syntax highlighting. However you don’t need this, but if you want really get the most out of T4, first, have a look at “T4 Editor Community Edition.” That’ll get you some basic coloring. ...

This document describes some best practices for search engine optimization of Silverlight applications. These practices are designed to help developers make their Silverlight content discoverable on a search engine results page and to provide an acceptable experience for users who do not have Silverlight enabled. ...

ASP.NET Web User Controls VS. Web Custom Controls

« Integrating PayPal Payments into E-Commerce Applications with ASP.NET | Shifted to the new home. » ASP.NET Web User Controls VS. Web Custom Controls by Vahid 3. March 2009 03:54 Web user controls are easy to make, but they can be less convenient to use in advanced scenarios. You develop Web user controls almost exactly the same way that you develop Web Forms pages. Like Web Forms, user controls can be created in the visual designer, they can be written with code separated from the HTML, and they can handle execution events. However, because Web user controls are compiled dynamically at run time they cannot be added to the Toolbox, and they are represented by a simple placeholder glyph when added to a page. This makes Web user controls harder to use if you are accustomed to full Visual Studio .NET design-time support, including the Properties window and Design view previews. Also, the only way to share the user control between applications is to put a separate copy in each application, which takes more maintenance if you make changes to the control. ...
