hi guys,

i've got a problem with the new clarius sf using the t4 editor. bascially when i try to preview the templates i get an error:

Code Snippet

<#@ template language="C#" debug="True" #>

<#@ assembly name="System.dll" #>

<#@ property processor="PropertyProcessor" name="FirstName" type="System.String, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" #>

Hello <# FirstName #>

Code Snippet

ErrorGeneratingOutput

Error: A processor named 'PropertyProcessor' could not be found for the directive named 'property'. The transformation will not be run. The following Exception was thrown:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Failed to resolve type for directive processor PropertyProcessor.

at Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating.VSHost.TextTemplatingService.ResolveDirectiveProcessor(String processorName)

at Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating.Engine.ProcessCustomDirectives(ITextTemplatingEngineHost host, TemplateProcessingSession session, List`1 directivesToBeProcessed) (3, 3)

i've tried it on both my own sf project and on the TechEd2005HoL proj with the same errors... would seem that there's something wrong with my pc config...

anyone else got this issue???

regards.

Hi,

We have confirmed this to be an issue of our installer that shows on some machines. We've fixed it and we have updated the MSI for download:

http://www.softwarefactoriestoolkit.net/Download_Jun07CTP.aspx

thanks for reporting it!

ps. note that we are now providing a .zip file including the DSL Tools redist too for people not having the VS SDK installed as this redist seems to not be available separately.

Mick,

When using the <# #> code block you need to provide either valid C# or VB code, so you're getting a compilation error on the generated class.

You should use the <# =expression #> code block instead which just outputs the specified expression as part of the output of the generation.

HTH,

Hi,

Error: Compiling transformation: ; expected (4, 10)

Hi Mick,
try using <#= FirstName #> than <# FirstName #>

that's the compilation error.
