CodeSmith Generator is a software development tool to help you get your job done faster. Technically speaking it is a template driven source code generator that automates the creation of common application source code for any language (C#, Java, VB, PHP, ASP.NET, SQL, etc.). CodeSmith Generator includes many useful templates as well as entire sets of templates for generating proven architectures. You can easily modify any templates or write your own to generate your code exactly the way you want it.

CodeSmith Generator's syntax is almost identical to ASP.NET. So if you are familiar with ASP.NET then you should be able to quickly learn the template syntax. You can use the C#, VB.NET or JScript.NET languages in your templates and your templates can output any ASCII-based (text based) language.

What can CodeSmith Generator do for you?

CodeSmith Generator can help you produce higher-quality, more consistent code in less time and enables software developers to efficiently:

Reduce repetitive coding.
Generate your code in less time with fewer bugs.
Produce consistent code that adheres to your standards.
Create your own custom templates for any language.

Fixed a threading bug in SqlSchemaProvider where an incorrect major version number could be returned causing the wrong script to be executed.
Fixed a bug where Property Directive descriptions do not appear in Intelliprompt.
Fixed a bug where the Editor font and colors would be displayed incorrectly after changing the Visual Studio theme in Visual Studio 2012 and 2013.
Fixed a bug where Quick Info and Intelliprompt fonts were displayed incorrectly.
Fixed a bug where renaming a file in Template Explorer did not update the file path inside of the template editor.
Fixed a bug where tabs inside of Template Editor did not properly display the files read-only status.
Fixed a bug where an Unauthorized Access Exception could be thrown when trying to save a generated document.
Fixed a bug where calling the Save method on MapCollection was not ensuring that the directory was created before saving the file to an invalid file path.
Fixed a bug where MapCollection.ToString() returned an empty string instead of the actual content.
Fixed a bug where an XmlProperty with invalid XSD schema's would throw an unhandled exception.
Fixed a few bugs where the Indention features would not work as expected.
Fixed a bug where the Property Grid could throw an exception when the multiply key was pressed.
Fixed a bug where the Template Explorer wouldn't automatically refresh in some scenarios.
Fixed a bug where the DB2zOSSchemaProvider would only return views if the FilterViews property was specified in configuration.
Fixed a bug where ActiveSnippetConfiguration may not be initialized when a new instance of ActiveSnippetGenerator was created.
Fixed a formatting bug where PropertySet.ToString() wasn't being indented.
Fixed various bugs with StringUtil where IsPlural, IsSingular, ToSpacedWords was not handling null or empty strings properly.
Fixed a bug where StringUtil ToPascalCase and ToCamelCase methods were not returning the correct results for strings that contained single character words (E.G., a_b_c_MyMethod).
Many more minor bug fixes.

Improved the start up time of the Generator Studio and Visual Studio integration.
Fixed a performance bug in SqlSchemaProvider.
Fixed a bug where calling SaveAs multiple times on a single document would cause Generator Studio to become unresponsive.
Many more minor performance improvements.
