Could MS provides its own T4 editor for GAT or DSL?

The t4 editor i downloaded from (sorry forget address), seems not quite stable and not well maintained. it works ok on my office computer (color works but no intellisense), but on my laptop, it is untolerably slow.

T4 editor is an important part of GAT, without a t4 editor, the template authoring task is formidable. I hope MS can provide its own t4 editor in GAT, instead of relying on third party or community personal provider to provide it.

Thanks

Hi johnx,

I'm with you on this one. When you've more than just a few T4s or large ones, editing without an editor support (VSIP language service support) is quite a frustration...

I don't know of any plans to include this in GAT in the near future but it could happen...

We (at Clarius) have a working T4 editor prototype that coded some time ago, we're nw evaluating updating it and including it in on a future drop of the Clarius SFT (http://softwarefactoriestoolkit.net) although I can't really promise anything.

HTH,

Hi,

there is also a T4Editor created by tangible engineering. It supports syntax-highlighting of generated code as well - not only T4 code sections. Intelli-Sense is includeded for T4 as well. In addition it comes with modelling tools you can use to create input data for your transformations in addition to good old xml and dbs.

The FREE Edition also includes Intelli-Sense for the most important namespaces, so i would try this one.
