I modified ScaffoldingGenerator.tt to work with the latest version of T4 
Toolbox 
(9.3.21.2 from March 26). A patch file with the changes and the complete 
changed file 
are attached to this comment. Thanks to the latest changes by Oleg Sych, 
opening and 
closing the solution doesn't seem to be necessary any more. 

I have not tested my changes thoroughly, but the generator creates everything 
fine 
for me (domain object + tests, controller + tests, views). Any feedback 
appreciated.

I think you should change the line 45 to:
    string targetPathRoot = applicationRootPath + solutionName + ".Web\\Views\\";
Otherwise the files will also be created in the main solution directory.

I don't know whether it's a problem with my setup but I now notice that the 
core and 
test files are generated in the root of their respective projects and not in 
the 
namespace subfolders that should be created.  The views are created in their 
subfolders correctly however.

Should we also look at 
http://tangibleengineering.blogspot.com/2009/05/tangible-t4-
editor-14-support-for-mvc.html as a recommended editor?

There is some problems with the namespacing, it doesn't create the folder 
hierarchy
in some project. Line 91 should be something like:

RenderFileToProject(domainObjectTemplate,
CreateDirectoriesAndAppendNamespacePathTo("") + fileName, outputProject);

martik, your patch has been an IMMENSE time saver...thank you!  I'm currently 
testing
it out with the 9.5 build of T4 Toolbox and am making a few tweaks to handle
namespaces and such.  Thank you very much for the assistance!

I've fixed this locally to support namespaces and will have it included in the 
next
check-in (which should be 1.0 RTM).
