Fun use of T4 to generate strongly-typed web navigation

  • Article

I wondered how long it would be before folks outside of the DSL Tools/VSX/SF community started to pick up on the fact that T4 is in every VS box as of VS 2008.

Here's my answer...

Kirill Chilingarashvili has a nice example of turning some weakly typed data into strongly-typed data and hence moving errors from runtime to compile time.  Rarely a bad thing.  Interestingly this doesn't even require a directive processor to be written to get the data into the template.

Nice stuff Kirill.
