The File menu contains 14 commands.

New

The New command displays a submenu with four choices:

  • C# Template
  • VB Template
  • JScript Template
  • Blank Template

Each of these choices creates a new template of the specified type.

If you'd like to modify the default contents of the C#, VB, or JScript templates, you'll find them in the NewFileTemplates subfolder of your CodeSmith installation.

Open

The Open command opens a File Open dialog box to allow you to load an existing CodeSmith template or code-behind file.

Save

The Save command saves the current template. If the template has not yet been saved, this command opens a Save As dialog box to allow you to assign a name to the template. Otherwise, it saves the template with its existing name.

Save As

The Save As command opens a Save As dialog box to allow you to save the current template with a new file name.

Save All

The Save All command saves all changes to any files open in CodeSmith Studio.

Close

The Close command closes the current template.

Close All

The Close All command closes all files open in CodeSmith Studio.

Recent Files

The Recent Files command displays a submenu of up to eight files that you have recently loaded in CodeSmith studio. Select a file from the menu to reload it.

Save As HTML

The Save As HTML command opens a Save As dialog box to allow you to save the current template as an HTML file.

Save As RTF

The Save As RTF command opens a Save As dialog box to allow you to save the current template as a Rich Text Format (RTF) file.

Print

The Print command opens the Print dialog box to allow you to print the current template.

Page Setup

The Page Setup command opens the Page Setup dialog box to allow you to set margins and other properties of the printed output.

Print Preview

The Print Preview command displays the current template in a Print Preview window.

Exit

The Exit command closes CodeSmith Studio. If you have unsaved changes in any open files, you will be prompted to save those changes.

This feature is only available in the Professional Edition of CodeSmith.
