One of the key features of CodeSmith is that you can use many types of metadata in your templates. Template metadata provides the means for users to interact with templates and customize the output of those templates. You have many choices when defining the metadata in a template:
- You can use any .NET type
- You can use CodeSmith's SchemaExplorer to interact with a database
- You can use the XML support
- You can build your own custom metadata sources, complete with designer and property set support
