1.什么是T4?
T4,即4个T开头的英文字母组合:Text Template Transformation Toolkit。T4(Text Template Transformation Toolkit)是微软官方在VisualStudio 2008中开始使用的代码生成引擎。简单的说就是可以根据模板生成你想要的文件,可以使类文件,文本文件,HTML等等。
2.vs插件的安装
T4的编辑工具下载地址http://t4-editor.tangible-engineering.com/Download_T4Editor_Plus_ModelingTools.html
VS默认的编辑工具无高亮,无提示,错误不易定位。 没这个工具,真心不想写任何T4代码。

3.T4语法
<# 标准控制块 #> 可以包含语句。 <#= 表达式控制块 #> 可以包含表达式。 <#+ 类特征控制块 #> 可以包含方法、字段和属性,就像一个类的内部 <#@ 指令 属性=“值”#>
3.1.标准控制块
<#@ template debug="false" hostspecific="false" language="C#" #> <#@ import namespace="System" #> <#@ output extension=".txt" #> <# int a=10; string b = "20"; DateTime c = DateTime.Now; for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++) { #> 测试 <# } #>
3.2.表达式控制块
<#@ template debug="false" hostspecific="false" language="C#" #> <#@ import namespace="System" #> <#@ output extension=".txt" #> <# int a=10; string b = "20"; DateTime c = DateTime.Now; for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++) { #> 测试<#=i#> <#=string.Format("{0},{1},{2}",a,b,c)#> <# } #>
3.3.类特征控制块
<#@ template debug="false" hostspecific="false" language="C#" #> <#@ import namespace="System" #> <#@ import namespace="System.Collections.Generic" #> <#@ output extension=".txt" #> <# int a=10; string b = "20"; DateTime c = DateTime.Now; for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++) { #> 测试<#=i#> <#=string.Format("{0},{1},{2}",a,b,c)#> <#=1+1#> <#=config.TableName#> <# } #> <#+ public class config { public static readonly string ConnectionString = "Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=NFineBase;User ID=sa;Password=hjf19870810;"; public static readonly string DbDatabase = "NFineBase"; public static readonly string TableName = "Sys_Test"; } #>
3.4.指令
<#@ output extension=".cs" #> 告诉T4引擎生成文件的后缀名是.cs; <#@ template debug="false" hostspecific="false" language="C#" #> langeuage:输出语言,有效值C#、VB,默认为C# debug:是否启用调试,有效值true、false,默认为false。 hostspecific:有效值true、false,默认为false。如果将此特性的值设置为 true,则会将名为 Host 的属性添加到由文本模板生成的类中。 该属性是对转换引擎的宿主的引用,并声明为Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating.ITextTemplatingEngineHost。 inherits:可以指定模板的程序代码可以继承自另一个类,这个类也可以从文本模板生成。目前木有使用过,基本上可以忽略 <#@ assembly name="System"#> 告诉T4引擎编译运行时引用System程序集 <#@ import namespace="System.Data"#> 告诉T4引擎编译运行时引用某个名称空间。
