用T4生成多个文件

初次认识并尝试使用T4生成代码的时候，相关学习资料似乎比较少。不过现在VS2010 的MSDN里已有相关章节，可参看《代码生成和文本模板》章节。可以用C#的语法写模板，实在舒服很多。

很快就发现T4难以生成多个文件的缺陷，微软似乎也不着急改进这一点。通过搜索，从InfoQ找到一篇文章《用T4生成多个文件》，链接到一篇文章，Damien Guard的扩展可以方便的生成多个文件。原文是英文，能看懂，然而如果翻译则斟酌字词太辛苦。

首先，保存以下代码为一个模板文件(例如保存文件名为Manager.ttinclude)：

<#@ assembly name="System.Data.Linq"#>
<#@ assembly name="EnvDTE"#>
<#@ assembly name="System.Xml"#>

                File.WriteAllText(fileName, content);
            }
        }

        internal VSManager(ITextTemplatingEngineHost host, StringBuilder template)
            : base(host, template) {
            var hostServiceProvider = (IServiceProvider) host;
            if (hostServiceProvider == null)

            foreach(EnvDTE.ProjectItem projectItem in templateProjectItem.ProjectItems)
                projectFiles.Add(projectItem.get_FileNames(0), projectItem);

            // Remove unused items from the project
            foreach(var pair in projectFiles)
                if (!keepFileNames.Contains(pair.Key) && !(Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(pair.Key) + ".").StartsWith(originalFilePrefix))
                    pair.Value.Delete();

            // Add missing files to the project
            foreach(String fileName in keepFileNameSet)

            var sc = dte.SourceControl;
            if (sc != null && sc.IsItemUnderSCC(fileName) && !sc.IsItemCheckedOut(fileName))
                checkOutAction.EndInvoke(checkOutAction.BeginInvoke(fileName, null, null));
        }
    }

接着，在T4模板文件里引用这个模板，并声明一个Manager类实例：

<#@ template language="C#" hostspecific="True"#>
<#@include file="Manager.ttinclude"#>
<# var manager = Manager.Create(Host, GenerationEnvironment); #>

使用两行代码可使代码输出到单独文件，你要输出的代码可写在这两个语句中间，StartNewFile的参数就是输出的文件名：

<# manager.StartNewFile("Employee.generated.cs"); #>
<# manager.EndBlock(); #>

比如可以这样写：

<# manager.StartNewFile("Employee.generated.cs"); #>
public class Employee {  }
<# manager.EndBlock(); #>

还可以为每个输出文件输出同样的头部或顶部，只需要相应的语句：

<# manager.StartHeader(); #>
// Code generated by a template
using System;
<# manager.EndBlock(); #>

<# manager.StartFooter(); #>
// It's the end
<# manager.EndBlock(); #>

最后使用这句来执行输出多个文件：

<# manager.Process(true); #>
