Feed Description: Scott Hanselman's ComputerZen.com is a .NET/WebServices/XML Weblog. I offer details of obscurities (internals of ASP.NET, WebServices, XML, etc) and best practices from real world scenarios.
Patrick has made CodeSmith sing.
He used it to 'rewrite xsd.exe' to our ends. Not to mention generate test data,
weave in a few AOP-y things, and numerous other goodnesses.
I've updated the Ultimate
Tools List to reflect CodeSmith's new place in my heart. Hyperbolic? Maybe,
but that's just my style:
Oh, yes, it's much more than just a Strongly Typed Collection
Generator. It's a complete code-generation engine with an ASP.NET-like syntax. Very
extendable, very powerful, very free. And, only $199 for the source. And all is right
with the world. I've used it to generate THOUSANDS of lines of code. There's a learning
curve, but the benefits are immense. It's worth the download just for the Strongly
Typed Collection code from Chris Nahr.
I'm thinking of drafting Patrick to
join me in giving a presentation on said tool at an upcoming PADNUG.
Hm...
