Visual Studio Integration
Visual Studio Integration
In addition to the standalone user interfaces (CodeSmith Explorer and CodeSmith Studio), CodeSmith also offers integration with Microsoft Visual Studio. This integration takes three forms:
CodeSmith Template Explorer
CodeSmith Explorer is available right within Visual Studio.
CodeSmith Project Integration
CodeSmith Projects can be used to generate code within Visual Studio and into your Visual Studio Projects.
ActiveSnippets
ActiveSnippets can be used to generate snippets of code similar to Visual Studio's snippets except with the full power of CodeSmith templates and ability to use complex metadata like database schema and XML.
