Autogenerating C# Files

[phobe62]

Hello all,
I'd like to ask your opinion on the best way to generate C# files. I've found a freeware app called CodeSmith (

http://www.ericjsmith.net/codesmith/)

that looks promising, but I haven't been able to look at it very much in depth yet.

The C# files I want to autogenerate include class libraries (like data layers), web pages, and web config files.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Regards,
Nick Saunders

You can use the code DOM, but it's very incomplete (no support for a large part of the C# language). See the Microsoft.CSharp namespace.

Otherwise, why not simply use a series of TextWriter.WriteLine() calls?

do you want to create compiled assemblies dynamically or just code files?
