New Post: Any known issues on Visual Studio 2012?

AntarisZX — Wed, 01 May 2013 09:58:17 GMT

Hi,

We have a series of projects were developed using VS2010 and MVC Scaffolding and custom templates. We've since been migrating to VS2012, the projects open fine, but Add-ItemViaProjectTemplate appears to be failing siliently, there is no output, there are no compile errors.

I know it's a bit hard to diagnose this way, but any ideas? VS is run as an Administrator, so I doubt it's a security issue.

jrswenson — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 23:01:04 GMT

I'm getting this now too. Since there hasn't been any MvcScaffolding updates, it's probably something else that causing it. Just not sure what yet....

If anyone finds a solution, please post.

I haven't seen any update lately, is this project still actively developed by Microsoft or community?

New Post: Base model classes on external referenced assembly

gozer — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 09:11:57 GMT

I have two solution: one (the "core" one holds base interfaces and abstract class that I use to define new models; this abstact class define the key (an int) and a name (string) properties.
In the second solution I've referenced the assembly built from the previous one and coding the inherited models and the dbcontext class.
I have a problem when I try to scaffold the models to generate the views: the two properties defined in the external assembly seems to be "invisible" and so the scaffold process don't generate them.

New Post: Is there any way to make MVC Scaffolding available across multiple solutions?

WhatIfWeDigDeeper — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 22:02:49 GMT

Say you have 20 solutions and you would rather not install MVC Scaffolding in all 20 solutions. Is there a way to use the Nuget_Profile.ps1 file ($profile) to make available MVC Scaffolding when one needs it? Like a function that would load the DLLs into Powershell and call the Init.ps1 or other powershell scripts from the Nuget package?

function Load-MvcScaffolding()
{
[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFrom("c:\scaffolding\Scaffolding.dll") | Out-Null
& c:\scaffolding\Init.ps1
}

Does one need to copy the Scaffolders, like Action, ActionUnitTest, etc. any place special?

Another option is just a method to add a temporary library project, install MvcScaffolding from Nuget and then once finished, they could just delete the temp project.
Thanks.

New Post: Many To Many Relationship

kissmevn — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 03:57:36 GMT

I wrote some models which has a many-to-many relationships.
After scaffolding, there is no binding fields in my CreateOrEdit View.
So should I change the model to allow code generation or should I write my-own code for this ?

New Post: How to change projects and folders where MvcScaffolding generates controllers, views and repositories

DukeNukem1985 — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 09:43:06 GMT

Is there any possibilities to change default projects and folders where MvcScaffolding generates repositories, views and controllers? I found information how do it by means of options but I would like configure paths permanently.

New Post: Debugging install-package T4Scaffolding.Core powershell command from outside VS Nuget console

raca — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 11:21:18 GMT

I am trying to debug <my .sln folder>\packages\T4Scaffolding.Core.1.0.1\tools\init.ps1 using PowerGUI script editor.
I can successfully attach a VS 2012 debugger to PowerGUI executable.
I am using .net reflector to decompile:
-System.Management.Automation
-T4Scaffolding and 
-T4Scaffolding.NuGetServices dlls.

Everything is executing fine within init.ps1 until it reaches line: 
Set-DefaultScaffolder -Name CustomTemplate -Scaffolder T4Scaffolding.CustomTemplate -SolutionWide -DoNotOverwriteExistingSetting

and the PowerGUI console reports: 
Set-DefaultScaffolder : Cannot get an instance of EnvDTE.DTE

The same thing happens when I try to issue:
Get-Scaffolder : Cannot get an instance of EnvDTE.DTE

I found the problem to be on the line:
            this._dte = (DTE) Package.GetGlobalService(typeof(DTE));
inside T4Scaffolding.NuGetServices.dll's ScaffoldingSolutionManager constructor. Basically Package.GetGlobalService method won't return me an instance of DTE.


When I attach to Nuget console and try to install package 
install-package T4Scaffolding.Core
I can also step into ScaffoldingSolutionManager constructor, but this time 
DTE is properly returned.

======================================================================
So how can I enable line: this._dte = (DTE) Package.GetGlobalService(typeof(DTE));
to work when invoking scripts outside of VS Nuget console manager. 
======================================================================

(I can actuall obtain DTE via: $dte = [runtime.interopservices.marshal]::GetActiveObject("visualstudio.dte") command for PowerGUI console
and of course I have only one VS instance open). I can provide my test scripts.
My goal is to debug complex Nuget package installation with 10-50 packages with very deep dependency tree.

Thanks
Rad

        public ScaffoldingSolutionManager(string defaultProjectName)        {
            this._defaultProjectName = defaultProjectName;
Problem>>>  this._dte = (DTE) Package.GetGlobalService(typeof(DTE));
            if (this._dte == null)
            {
                throw new System.InvalidOperationException("Cannot get an instance of EnvDTE.DTE");
            }
        }

New Post: Scaffold External DataModel

New Post: Recursive scaffolding, Syncing changes (forward/reverse), Regex for Primary Key

smartgrid — Tue, 25 Dec 2012 04:36:23 GMT

First, I wanted to thank Steve for this tool. Its made life easier for me. :) I code quite a bit... so thanks.

here are my requests/observations, (apologies in advance not sure if they exist, I searched before posting.)

Recursive scaffolding - how can I recursively scaffold against, models in a directory. (I have many many classes!)
Primary Key - can I give a Regex pattern or specify a different format for the PK key, this breaks.
Syncing changes - is there an option for the models and controllers to forward/reverse sync, then with the DB.

Thanks

New Post: Custom Controller template

BlueCode — Fri, 07 Dec 2012 16:54:03 GMT

Provide a much simpler way to adding new controller templates to the Add Controller dialog. I would like to speed up my work with custom controller templates, but I do not want to write PowerShell scripts to register them.
