Event Information

August meeting – Visual Studio 2010 Code Generation 

When:  

Wednesday, 8/11/2010 at 6:45 PM

Where:  

University of Phoenix Learning Center in Livermore, 2481 Constitution Drive, Room 105

Event Description

Code generation techniques have been around for some time now and have allowed developers to write applications with more consistency in their code and to write that code more efficiently. Since Visual Studio 2005 one such technique available to developers is the code snippet and we’ll look at the anatomy of the code snippet and you’ll discover that code snippets are almost as easy to write as they are to use. We’ll also look at several other techniques for code generation from using the StringBuilder class to using Xml and Xslt transformations to the powerful new features in Visual Studio 2010 around the T4 template language.
