I try to explain you better.
I try to realize a custom tool (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.visualstudio.shell.interop.ivssinglefilegenerator.aspx)like descrived in:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dotnet/customtoolsexp.aspx
that use a .tt (called with appropiate parameter) to create an cs file from a specific .xml

I want to use the "Custom Tool" because it is invokedat each saving of thefile, and i can link the samegeneration by setting theProperties of each file that i want to use for generation.
Single .tt is not applicable in my case, howewer i want to use tt engine to create the cs file instead of concatenating string.

Thanks.

Hi Andrea,

I'm not sure if I followed you, Are you trying to generate a single nested file from a template in a project? If so, with Visual Studio 2008you can create a .tt file which already have defined a custom tool to transform the texttemplate.

hth.
