Hi there,

I am pretty new to T4 templates. I am seeking help to start creating a page using T4 templates.

It seems most of the t4 editors are paid versions. However, i found a tool which is indeed free (http://www.devart.com/t4-editor/download.html[^])

Now i am stuck in creating pages using T4 MVC. I mean i need a right approach to start creating the app. Do we utilize T4 for each and every views, controllers and models?. How we can use a single template(any sample would be helpful) to create multiple output files(view, controller and model) in mvc (or) one template for view,one for controller and one for model?

Any sample apps or tutorial to create a MVC app using t4 would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Note: I am using MVC 4.0 , Razor view

Thanks,
Syed Shabeer
