Hello.

I am wondering if there is a way to create a file per element group, when group usage is set to AsVisualGroupingMechanism.

it would be nice to leverage the grouping when naming files, I think there should be a [groupName] placeholder, but couldn't find anything like this.

Thanks,

Gabe

What do you want to do exactly? Maybe it's something you can achieve modifying templates or creating new ones. However spliting files by groupname is not possible, as I far as I know you (according to SDK manual) can't use something like [groupname] in filenameformat at.Templatebindings.

I would like to be able to create file names per group using the LPTParser. Something like this.

            <task name="BusinessLogicHelperClassGenerator" assemblyFilename="SD.LLBLGen.Pro.LptParser.dll" taskPerformerClass="SD.LLBLGen.Pro.LptParser.DotNetTemplateEngine">
                <parameters>
                    <parameter isOptional="false" name="destinationFolder" defaultValue="BusinessLayer\ManagerClasses"/>
                    <parameter isOptional="false" name="failWhenExistent" defaultValue="false"/>
                    <parameter isOptional="false" name="filenameFormat" defaultValue="[groupName]BusinessLogicHelper.[extension]"/>
                    <parameter isOptional="false" name="templateAssemblySourceFileFormat" defaultValue="templateClassesSource.[extension]"/>
                    <parameter isOptional="false" name="templateID" defaultValue="BusinessLogicHelper"/>
                    <parameter isOptional="false" name="emitType" defaultValue="allEntities"/>
                </parameters>
            </task>

This would write the file multiple times just overwriting it each time for every entity in the group. However it would produce the output that i am looking for.

so what you're after is the [groupName] specification in filename patterns for task performers?

exactly.

Workitem added.

Implemented for v4.1
