I am interested in adding a new Project to what LLBL generates, Specifically for using LLBL as a CASE tool to build winform GUI.

where should I look for a help resource/examples on how to tell LLBL to create a directory, project and files for the project?

Also in looking in the forums I see reference to a template example repository ... where is this located?

Also I am curious on C# vs. TDL templates, and help on that topic.

just found and read your post re: downloading http://subversion.tigris.org to access templates.

my other questions still apply.

Hi,

TDL templates can't be debugged inside Template Studio, so C# template (LPT) is better if you have complex template.

You should start with the SDK and familiar yourself with how the template system and task system works inside llblgen pro simple_smile LLBLGen Pro has task performers to create folders for you, just add the proper tasks. (to a new preset for example. the shipped presets also create folders, using the directorycreator taskperformer)

Also I am curious on C# vs. TDL templates, and help on that topic.

For this task I indeed would recommend .lpt templates written in C# instead of TDL templates.

how does one log on Anonymous to svndisappointed /www.sd.nl/LLBLGenPro?

blank user/password eventually returns an error of invalid user-name after a few attempts.

are there C# .lpt templates in the above .. and is there any other help resources on that?

Hmm. anonymous access for reads is enabled... strange.

Yes there are, you can download them also from the 3rd party section in the customer area -> click v2.0 at the left then 3rd party section and look for the manager templates.

The SDK docs also contain tutorials for simple .lpt templates to get you started.

You can use the taskbuilders that are already defined, such as the directorycreator. You can use these as a starting point if you are looking to create your own taskbuilders.

You can create your tasks by hand, using xml and the xsd in vs.net so you have intellisense. The other way is to add default tasks to a new preset and alter the parameters of the task, you do this in the llblgen pro designer.

But first: just try it, just try to add a task, alter the parameters etc., it's pretty straight forward. simple_smile
