I am using it in VS2013 and VS2015. And in neither of these environments, these settings do anything.
I mean sometimes they do, but it's like 5% of the time (no rime or reason I can see). Also since I added override to overwrite it closes opened files (generated).
Also can you also clarify, what is the difference between the two?

In visual studio 2012, right click a .tt file > Debug T4 Template using TemplateFilemanager.CS.ttinclude results in:

RPC_E_SERVERCALL_RETRYLATER Call was rejected by callee

Hi,

I am trying to output multiple files in VS2015, this is just not working, VS hangs completely with the "Visual Studio is busy" notification and will not recover.

It seems that everything hands when calling: fileManager.Process();

All the files do get generated as expected however VS just hangs.

Any ideas?

UPDATE:

Its seems the issue happens when files are added to a class library package project, even if I generate these files using a .tt in a separate project with the output to the class library package.

Please remove the annoying trailing spaces.

You can see them with this extension (https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/a204e29b-1778-4dae-affd-209bea658a59)

Is there any other way to find the correct position of my current folder, where the .tt files exists?
I have a large folder structure in my project. The method FindFolderByName just consider the First() Item in the same project, if there are more than one ProjectItems. But this must not be the correct folder:

projectA
  folder1
    folder1-1
  folder2
    folder1-1
      template.tt

StartNewFile("AdditionalsFile.cs"), "projectA", "folder1-1");

With this constellation the additional file will be generated in the first folder1-1 and not in the folder where the template is.

The method FindFolderByName should be more precise to find the correct folder. Maybe with a more specific folderName parameter in the StartNewFile method.

Will this project still be maintained? Last submits were 2 years ago, pull requests open since march...

When we are using the CreateNew function with repeatition for various projects as source then the code is performing badly. The reason is because in such case it will get the project details repeatedly without caching it.

There are other reasons though and will be posting them too in upcoming days.

I am trying to generate C# code for a separate project using a T4 template that should not be built in the current project and should therefore be included as static content. My template uses

manager.StartNewFile(endpointClassName + ".cs", fileProperties: new FileProperties()
{
    BuildAction = BuildAction.Content
});

to start a new file. However, the VS project file properties list Compile as the selected build action and the project file's XML contains <Compile> tags.

How is it possible to force TemplateFileManager into setting the build action properly? It obviously ignores the fileProperties parameter which I consider a bug.

What is the functional purpose for the line of code files.Reverse(); that reverses the order in which files are created? It's minor, but seems odd that, because of this, the log lists each file in reverse alphabetical order.

Hello,

I've seen that your latest commit was on Apr 18, 2014, however the latest version of the NuGet package was on Saturday, August 11 2012.

Please, could you update the NuGet Package? Thank you.
