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.
