Directive processor to route simple serializable parameters from callers or the host to the template.

RequiresProvidesDirectiveProcessor

Base class for a directive processor that follows the requires, provides pattern.

ServiceProviderExtensions

Class that contains extensions to IServiceProvider relevant to T4 templates.

ShadowCopyMonitor

Interfaces

IDebugTextTemplatingEngine
IDebugTransformationRun
IDebugTransformationRunFactory
IDirectiveProcessor

Interface for a directive processor.

IDirectiveProcessorMetadata

Metadata provided by DirectiveProcessors. Hosts that want to import DPs via MEF can consume this standard metadata.

IRecognizeHostSpecific

(Optional) interface that DirectiveProcessors can implement if they care about the value of the HostSpecific flag when they are generating code.

ITextTemplatingEngine

The interface for the text template transformation engine.

ITextTemplatingEngineHost

The interface for the host that transforms text templates. This is available to directive processors and can also be accessed by text templates.

ITextTemplatingOrchestrator
ITextTemplatingSession

Can be used to transmit information from a directive processor into a text template.

ITextTemplatingSessionHost

Implemented by a text templating host, enabling callers to obtain an object denoting the current session. A session represents series of executions of text templates. The session object can be used to pass information from the host into the code of the text template.
