Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating.VSHost Namespace

  • Article

This namespace contains types concerned with the text template transformation service in Visual Studio.

To invoke text template transformation in a Visual Studio extension, get the STextTemplating service, cast it to ITextTemplating, and then use the methods there:

ITextTemplating tt = ServiceProvider.GetService(typeof(STextTemplating)) as ITextTemplating;
tt.ProcessTemplate(templatePath, templateContent, errorCallback, vsProjectHierarchy);

For more information, see Customizing T4 Text Transformation.
