t4 "using" keyword

Question

I'm new with t4.

I would like to generate code to cs file. I created a new tt file.

<#@ template debug="false" hostspecific="false" language="C#" #>
<#@ output extension=".cs" #>

class IOperation {

<#
OperationSection section = null;

#>
}

OperationSection is a class in the same assembly. I assume that I should use the "using" keyword.

How I do it? Now I receiving an error

Error 2 Compiling transformation: The type or namespace name 'OperationSection' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

thanks

Answer 1

Use the import directive:

<#@ import namespace="YourNamespace" #>

Additionally, you might need to add an assembly directive to reference the assembly the class is defined in:

<#@ assembly name="$(SolutionDir)\MyProject\bin\Debug\SomeLibrary.Dll" #>
