    <p>I am trying to create a T4 Template for a custom controller (with services). However, I am having some issues setting things up. I currently use tangible free T4 tool editor and TextTemplatingFileGenerator as a Custom Tool. I am running into a couple issues when experimenting:</p> <p>1: I try using MvcTextTemplateHost mvcHost = (MvcTextTemplateHost)(Host); and it says "The type or namespace name MvcTextTemplateHost could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?). It says to clear the Custom tool, but I was wondering how I can view the generated T4 file if I do clear the tool?</p> <p>2: Another approach was Steve Sanderson's CustomTemplate but I am having issues there with the DynamicTransform not being found and was wondering where I can get the file needed to use it. If i need to clear the tool for this, then how do I view a generated sample file? Thank you very much.</p> <p>Max Gilman</p> <p>Some sample code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;#@ Template Language="C#" HostSpecific="True" Inherits="DynamicTransform" #&gt; &lt;#@ Output Extension="cs" #&gt; using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Linq.Expressions; using System.Text; namespace someNamespace { &lt;# var modelType = (CodeType)Model.ModelType; var modelName = modelType.Name; var modelNamePlural = Model.ModelTypePluralized; var modelVariable = modelName.ToLower(); var relatedEntities = ((IEnumerable)Model.RelatedEntities).OfType&lt;RelatedEntityInfo&gt;(); var primaryKeyProperty = modelType.VisibleMembers().OfType&lt;CodeProperty&gt;().Single(x =&gt; x.Name == Model.PrimaryKey); var routingName = Regex.Replace(Model.ControllerName, "Controller$", "", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase); var isObjectContext = ((CodeType)Model.DbContextType).IsAssignableTo&lt;System.Data.Objects.ObjectContext&gt;(); #&gt; public class foo { //This is a basic comment. } } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
