I'm trying to get familiar with Template Studio v0.9.11242004 Beta M1. But, it just started generating code within <~~> tokens twice in the temporary cs file.

Here's a small example. I'm trying to emit for allEntities. Could that be the problem?

<$ D:\Program Files\Solutions Design\LLBLGen Pro\RuntimeLibraries\DotNet11\SD.LLBLGen.Pro.ORMSupportClasses.NET11.dll $>

<[ System.IO ]>
<[ System.Text ]>
<[ SD.LLBLGen.Pro.ORMSupportClasses ]>
<[ SD.LLBLGen.Pro.ApplicationCore ]>
<[ SD.LLBLGen.Pro.ApplicationCore.Entities ]>

<# ManagerBaseTemplate #>

using System;
using <%%=baseNameSpace%%>.HelperClasses;
using <%%=baseNameSpace%%>.FactoryClasses;
using <%%=baseNameSpace%%>.RelationClasses;
using <%%=baseNameSpace%%>.ValidatorClasses;

public class <%%GetObjectName()%%>ManagerBase
{
    public <%%GetObjectName()%%>ManagerBase()
    {}
}

<~
    public string baseNameSpace = _executingGenerator.ProjectDefinition.RootNameSpace;
~>

BTW. I just realized my syntax was wrong with the <%% %%> blocks in my example. So, no need to correct that for me.

I'll check it out. I didn't have a problem so far, but I'll try to reproduce it.

Expect a new build later today with debugging options and a solution for the "referenced dll not found" problem.

(edit) I can't reproduce it here... the code is generated into the temp source just once.

Hmmm.

It's still being generated twice for me. Bummer

Here's the full code. Just in case.

<$ D:\Program Files\Solutions Design\LLBLGen Pro\RuntimeLibraries\DotNet11\SD.LLBLGen.Pro.ORMSupportClasses.NET11.dll $>

<[ System.IO ]>
<[ System.Text ]>
<[ SD.LLBLGen.Pro.ORMSupportClasses ]>
<[ SD.LLBLGen.Pro.ApplicationCore ]>
<[ SD.LLBLGen.Pro.ApplicationCore.Entities ]>

<# ManagerBaseTemplate #>

using System;
using <%=BaseNameSpace%>.HelperClasses;
using <%=BaseNameSpace%>.FactoryClasses;
using <%=BaseNameSpace%>.RelationClasses;
using <%=BaseNameSpace%>.ValidatorClasses;

public sealed class <%=ObjectName%>ManagerBase
{
    private <%=ObjectName%>ManagerBase()
    {}
}

<~
    public string BaseNameSpace
    {
        get { return _executingGenerator.ProjectDefinition.RootNameSpace; }
    }
    
    public string ObjectName
    {
        get
        {
            if(_activeObject==null)
            {
                return "no active object";
            }
            
            EntityDefinition e = _activeObject as EntityDefinition;
            if(e!=null)
            {
                return e.Name;
            }
            TypedListDefinition tl = _activeObject as TypedListDefinition;
            if(tl!=null)
            {
                return tl.Name;
            }
            TypedViewDefinition tv = _activeObject as TypedViewDefinition;
            if(tv!=null)
            {
                return tv.Name;
            }
            SPCallDefinition sc = _activeObject as SPCallDefinition;
            if(sc!=null)
            {
                return sc.Name;
            }
            
            // unknown object
            return "Unknown";
        }
    }

And my generator config

    <tasks>
        <taskGroup description="Test generation group">
            <task name="DirectoryCreator" assemblyFilename="SD.LLBLGen.Pro.TaskPerformers.dll" taskPerformerClass="SD.LLBLGen.Pro.TaskPerformers.DirectoryCreator">
                <parameter name="folderToCreate" value="Managers"/>
                <parameter name="failWhenExistent" value="false"/>
                <parameter name="clearWhenExistent" value="false"/>
            </task>
            <task name="DirectoryCreator" assemblyFilename="SD.LLBLGen.Pro.TaskPerformers.dll" taskPerformerClass="SD.LLBLGen.Pro.TaskPerformers.DirectoryCreator">

                <parameter name="failWhenExistent" value="false"/>

                <parameter name="templateAssemblySourceFileFormat" value="managerTemplateClassesSource.[extension]"/>
                <parameter name="templateID" value="ManagerBaseTemplate"/>
                <parameter name="emitType" value="allEntities"/>
            </task>
        </taskGroup>
    </tasks>

I hope you can help me out. Otherwise, I'll wait for an official release.

I'll check it out. This is the only template in the templateset?

For now yes. I'm just trying to get one template working before jumping in to it full force.

I'm sure glad I did

Out of curiosity: which template is bound to this id: <# ManagerBaseTemplate #>

Aren't you including yourself there?

This is my template.config

<templateSetDefinition>
    <vendor></vendor>
    <name></name>
    <version></version>
    <trueKeyword>true</trueKeyword>
    <falseKeyword>false</falseKeyword>
    <thisKeyword>this</thisKeyword>
    <nullKeyword>null</nullKeyword>
    <targetLanguageDescription>C#</targetLanguageDescription>
    <fileExtension>cs</fileExtension>
    <arrayIndexOperatorOpenChar>[</arrayIndexOperatorOpenChar>
    <arrayIndexOperatorCloseChar>]</arrayIndexOperatorCloseChar>
    <hasArrayIndexOperatorOnIdentifier>false</hasArrayIndexOperatorOnIdentifier>
    <lineConcatenator></lineConcatenator>
    <templateBindings>
        <!-- example binding -->
        <!-- <templateBinding templateID="SD_EntityBaseTemplate" templateFilename="..\..\..\SharedTemplates\C#\entityBase.template" /> -->
        <templateBinding templateID="ManagerBaseTemplate" templateFilename="C#\managerBase.lpt" />      
    </templateBindings>
</templateSetDefinition>

which is the template up there in the first code example.

[edit] I just realized that was the problem!!! Thanks Frans
