How can I get T4MVC to regenerate the .generated.cs files?

Question

I am adding tests to the NerdDinner DinnersController class, and when I create the constructors needed to do Constructor Injection I get a conflict with the T4MVC-generated constructor (specifically, the base constructor). It looks like the base constructor is not generated if one already exists -- is this true? If so, what do I need to do to re-generate the T4MVC files?

Thanks, Dave

Answer 1

Right-click on the T4MVC.tt file in Solution Explorer, then click Run Custom Tool. This will regenerate the files.

Click the link above, or if it disappears, in Visual Studio (2015):

1. Click Tools
2. Click Extensions and Updates
3. On the right, search for AutoT4MVC
4. Install, and restart VS

Your templates should now rebuild automatically every time you build.
