The text template transformation engine.
Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating.dll)
Syntax
'宣言
Public Class Engine _
Implements ITextTemplatingEngine
'使用
Dim instance As Engine
public class Engine : ITextTemplatingEngine
public ref class Engine : ITextTemplatingEngine
public class Engine implements ITextTemplatingEngine
Remarks
The text template transformation process takes a text template file as the input, and produces a new text file as the output. The text template transformation engine component controls the process, and interacts with a text template transformation host and one or more text template directive processors to complete the process. For more information, see Generating Artifacts Using Text Templates.
Examples
The following example demonstrates how to create an instance of the Engine, and calling ProcessTemplate to transform a text template.
This code example is part of a larger example provided for the ITextTemplatingEngineHost interface.
Engine engine = new Engine();
//read the text template
string input = File.ReadAllText(templateFileName);
//transform the text template
string output = engine.ProcessTemplate(input, host);
Dim engine As Engine = New Engine()
'read the text template
Dim input As String = File.ReadAllText(templateFileName)
'transform the text template
Dim output As String = engine.ProcessTemplate(input, host)
