Visual Studio Add-in for automatically running T4 Text Template (TT) files when one of the registered triggers are hit.

HOW

Enable the add-in in Visual Studio (Tools->Add-in Manager).
Create an AutoTT.config file anywhere in the project with the configuration, and it will automatically be loaded.

CONFIGURATION EXAMPLE

XML

Edit|Remove

xml<configuration>    <template name="T4MVC.tt" onbuild="true" >        <trigger pattern="^Controllers\\" />        <trigger pattern="^Content\\" />    </template></configuration>
<configuration>     <template name="T4MVC.tt" onbuild="true" >         <trigger pattern="^Controllers\\" />         <trigger pattern="^Content\\" />     </template> </configuration>

- Note the trigger pattern is a regular expression and special characters need to be escaped

INTELLISENSE

For intellisense when writting the AutoTT.config configuration file add the xsd schema found in the install folder to Visual Studio either via the XML->Schemas option (visible when a xml file is open) or by putting the xsd schema file in the Visual studio xsd schema folder which could normally be found at %InstallRoot%\Xml\Schemas
