Add autogenerated C# file into solution

Question

In C++ I can autogenerate some classes and then modify an empty cpp file to

 #include "myautoclass.cpp"

in the prebuild step and these classes will be compiled and linked. Is there a way to do this in C# in a prebuild step? I'm on VS2010. Thanks.

Answer 1

One way of generating classes (and any other files) is by using T4 templates.

An excellent set of tutorials can be found here.
