I have been so looking forward to this. CodeSmith v3.2 now runs on .NET 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005.
CodeSmith is another one of those must have .NET code generation tools that I always talk about. Although I built my own point and click Database Explorer and Code Generator for kicks, CodeSmith will never leave my PC. Never :)
CodeSmith v3.2 is a free upgrade to all CodeSmith 3.0 customers. Go to Eric's Post to grab the direct links for the downloads.
For those unfamiliar with CodeSmith:
“CodeSmith is a template-based code generator that allows you to generate code for any text language. The code generated can be customized by the use of properties. A property can be any .NET object that has a designer (most built in .NET types have designers already) and can be as simple as a boolean property that allows you to conditionally add or remove code from the result, to an object such as the TableSchema object (included in SchemaExplorer) which provides access to everything you could possibly want to know about a database table. CodeSmith comes with many standard property types and is 100% extensible by allowing the user to create custom property types.”
