Feature Req: Changes to "references" behavior during code gen... #251

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Add an option to the properties to NOT copy the References... just use the 
path provided...

Reason: In our build automation, we have a References\EntLib.4.1\ folder 
already established... we then point our NetTiers properties file to use 
the same path.... Unfortunately the templates insist on copying their 
versions over-top of the ones that are already there.... So we have to go 
and perform a pre-codegen step to basically "attrib -r *.*" on that folder 
otherwise CodeSmith/netTiers chokes on trying to overwrite the files...  
At the completion of the codegen, we then have to ensure the original 
contents are restored from TFS and the read-only attribute re-applied...

A simple "Copy References" toggle would eliminate two steps for us.

Also breaking out the NUnit reference would be highly desirable... This 
again is due to our having an established \References\NUnit.##.##\ folder 
and the desire is to re-use that reference and not overwrite it.

So call it 3 new properties...

Copy EntLib References (True\False)
NUnit Reference Path 
Copy NUnit References (True/False)

After working with NetTiers for a few projects now, this has been an item 
on our wish-list and I'm just now finally getting around to posting it...

Thanks!

Thanks
