This article introduces how to use T4 in ASP.NET MVC. The content is very detailed. Interested friends can use it for reference. I hope it will be helpful to you.

When adding controllers and views to a project, ASP.NET MVC uses T4 (text template conversion Toolkit, Text Template Transformation Toolkit) to generate code. T4 is a highly customized, template-based text generator.

One of the features of ASP.NET MVC previously announced by Scott Guthrie is to use T4 to generate code. The code is generated by the T4 engine based on a text template. This means that anyone can create or modify such templates and have complete control over the generated code.

A T4 template combines plain text blocks and logical control and looks very similar to other Web Form pages. Abhishek Mishra gives a detailed example of editing a template.

There is no IntelliSense support for editing T4 templates in Visual Studio, but Clarius Consulting provides a community version of T4 editors that can be integrated with VS and provide syntax highlighting. They also offer a professional version, including true IntelliSense support, and a T4 code generator version that supports custom T4 managed environment (WSSF,ASP.NET MVC), Server Explorer integration, drag and drop of XML and XSD files, friendly database metadata acquisition API, and other features.

T4 can be used to automatically generate any type and destination text file. Scott Hanselman gives an example of using templates to generate LINQ to SQL code. Scott recommends using T4 for various repetitive text generation tasks, even if they have nothing to do with .NET: "if you want to repeat the same thing manually multiple times in your company, let it be generated automatically."

On how to use T4 ASP.NET MVC to share here, I hope that the above content can be of some help to you, can learn more knowledge. If you think the article is good, you can share it for more people to see.
