About Visual T4

The Text Templating Transformation Toolkit (better known as T4) is a text transformation technology developed by Microsoft and used mostly for code generation by several Microsoft products.

The T4 Engine that is used for supporting text transformations is built into Visual Studio 2008 and  a redistributable is available for Visual Studio 2005 users to install it.

Unfortunately, the design-time experience when using T4 is not yet on a par compared with what you are used to expect from other tools integrated within Visual Studio.

The Visual T4 Editor and VIsual T4 Code Generator developed by Clarius Consulting are aimed at converting this missing experience into a first class one, fully integrated into the development environment, offering you support for colorization of the different T4 template parts, IntelliSense, and design-time preview of your templates, among other features.

Our Visual T4 Editor and  Visual T4 Code Generator are currently supported under both Visual Studio 2005 and Visual Studio 2008  products.
