It’s been a long time since our last post. I just wanted to let you know about the amazing progress we’ve been making on Visual T4 for VS2010. What’s new in short? A major overhaul to take full advantage of all the benefits of the brand new WPF-based core text editor as well as the new language services to provide the absolutely unique and long-time praised Intellisense integration.
We’ll go into the details on another post, but here’s a bunch of screenshots to get you excited, using the ADO.NET C# POCO Entity Generator templates.
Colors honor your favorite C# editor settings:
Tooltips as usual in C#:
Intellisense on APIs as usual in C#:
Parameter info as usual in C# code :)
Pretty good indenting!
Full support for VERY complex includes! (the EF one has 2200+ lines)
Full T4 directives intellisense with tooltips, as you’d expect:
Can add arbitrary assemblies an get their intellisense too:
Can build any LINQ query you fancy with full intellisense:
Use your favorite code snippets as usual in C#:
With even full anonymous types support:
And Intellisense of course:
A BIG kudos to the Visual T4 team for such an amazing integration into VS2010. We’ll be sharing the bits more broadly very soon. We’re beta testing it at this very moment.
You got us excited - Is there a time frame for a public Beta or a trial version?
ReplyDeleteWill you provide a community edition as you did for the previous version of Visual T4 Editor?
Please don't forget to add possibility to choose different background color for the executing code and template part.
ReplyDeleteRobert, T4 colors are customizable from Tools | Options just like any other first-class text editor in VS :)
ReplyDeleteThat's great to hear! Interesting because I complained about you guys NOT having a 2010 version on my blog earlier that same day. Is there going to be an upgrade price?
ReplyDeleteIs there a 'product' page we should watch for a release date? Any guess as to when it might come?
ReplyDeleteTwo months later... :P
ReplyDeleteBeen waiting for a 2010 version all year. Come on guys, your competitor crashes my VS 2010 or it would already be a wrap. Help me out, our company would love to buy licenses ... but we *need* VS2010 support.
ReplyDeleteNevermind. I just looked at your guy's support forums .... lol ...
ReplyDeleteThe last non-spam post in your General forum is 6 months old and asks if Clarius T4 is a dead project.
It received no reply, and only spam has appeared since.
So I guess that's a yes, this is dead and it's silly to wait for another release.
Where can I download the Visual T4 for VS 2010 Version, I only see the Version for VS2008 and Vs2005...
ReplyDeleteWhere is the download!?
