T4 is Microsoft's Language for writing Code Generators

T4 is used in ASP.NET MVC, Entity Framework and many parts of .NET. The Microsoft T4 Generation Engine is already built into Visual Studio, however Visual Studio does not provide an Editor for it. That is why we created the tangible T4 Editor for Visual Studio. You can now accelerate your projects by adopting Microsoft T4 today and generate the code you need directly from diagrams, database schemas, xml files or other sources - Write less, achieve more.
