How to: Append Text to the Generated Text

You can use the Write and WriteLine methods to append text to a generated output file. Use these methods within helper functions to add text to the output.

To use the Write and WriteLine methods in a text template

1. In Solution Explorer, right-click the text template file that you want to edit, and then click Open.

   The template opens in the editor.

2. Add the following code with the Write and WriteLine methods to the template:

   <#
       string item = @"This is my additonal text I want to append to my output file";
       
       for(int i=1; i<4; i++)
       {
           WriteLine(item);  //Using the WriteLine method
       }
       WriteLine(null);
   
       Write(item);  //Using the Write method
   #>
   

   <#
       Dim item As String = "This is my additonal text I want to append to my output file"
       Dim i as Integer = 0
       
       For i = 1 To 3
   
           WriteLine(item)  'Using the WriteLine method
       Next
   
       WriteLine("")
   
       Write(item)  'Using the Write method
   #>
   

   注意

   The Write and WriteLine methods also have overload methods that take (String, Object[]) as arguments. For more information, see Write and WriteLine.
