Memory matters...

I am getting the following error when using AutoFac, clicking in the Developer section in the CMS. I am using Umbraco v7.1.4, and installing the module by running the Packaging proejct in the V7.1 branch of CodeGen.

Failed to retrieve data for application tree developer

Finally not sure if this is in or not, but if you want to go the whole "less key strokes" route then you could get the doctype alias/name from the class name so:

class ProductVariant {}

would have a name of "Product Variant" and an alias of "productVariant" assuming no attributes where added/included. You can of course override these with attributes if you like.

Has some issues with generating XML. Could pick it up from the alias passed to GetPropertyValue<>, but will be cumbersome, and possibly not at all necessary. Mostly nice-to-have.

It doesn't appear that CodeGen picks up models built into a dll that can be deployed to the site. Looking at the code, it doesn't appear to be doing any reflection for those types. Is there any particular reason for this?

Excellent package!
Does the current NuGet version support Composition properties from Umbraco 7.2+?

I see that there is a Compositions section in the def.config file which properly lists any selected DocTypes, but none of their properties appear in the Model except for the Master DocType (if any).

Not sure if this is a bug, missing feature, or an incorrect implementation on my end.

Thank you!

Expected behaviour to put using statements first in generated class file

Backoffice: when using "Codegen preview class" on Document type, on the right side there is nothing.

Need to add the line

        ns.Imports.Add(new CodeNamespaceImport("Umbraco.Web"));

to the StandardImportsBuilder class so that the necessary using statement is included to support the GetPropertyValue<T> extension is supported.
