Using Version 2

It's probably just me (it usually is), but I can't get .lpt templates to process properly. It appears that the text from the .lpt file is being inserted in the C# file. For example, if debugBuild is true, the template code

a few lines
to see what we get 

produces

using SD.LLBLGen.Pro.GeneratorCore;
...
using System.IO;


a few lines
to see what we get 
public class DataPortalTemplate : ITemplateClass {
...
    private void __ScriptCode() {
        __outputWriter.Write("a few lines\nto see what we get \n");
    }
...
}

which causes the compiler some grief. I have not had similar problems with Version 1.

Any help gratefully accepted

Hmm, should be ok. I'll check it out.

(edit) reproduced.

bug in lpttemplateengine.

(edit) fixed in next build

Thanks Frans

That appears to be fixed now

I cannot get mine to work. It definately gave a weird error at compile time, and I updated to the latest versions.

However, I still get compile errors.

If I open the template in template studio and do a compile it compiles fine, but gives compile errors when used from generator - so something is still up with v2.

Alsio, where does the 'templateAssemblySourceFileFormat' file end up? I have never found it to look and even see what it produces.

I will email in the file.

The file ends up in the destination folder. I'll check your template.

I sent this in email, along with my complete bindings file. I wanted to put it here in case others had this problem.

I have a template bindings file in the AdditionalTemplates folder. If I put this in that template binding file:

    <templateBinding templateID="WB.EnhancedActionProcsTemplate" filename="SqlServerSpecific\Net2.x\C#\ActionStoredProcTemplate.lpt" />

Then all of a sudden NO presets work. Not even the shipping ones. It appears it does not matter if you use the template or not it still gives the errors I attached before. Just having a templatebindings file with this line in it present anywhere in the templatebindings path stops llblgen from generating code!

How do I add .lpt template bindings?

It's a strange thing. I made a repro case which succeeded, and your bindings file fails. They look almost the same, so it's odd. I'll have a look. It might be a bug in the .lpt engine.

Continued via email

(solution was: no . can be present in a templateid, as the templateid will become the class name for the class which handles the lpt template)
