如何在T4模板中提供连接字符串?

标签: c# entity-framework t4

我编写了一个T4模板,我在其中实例化一个EF上下文来读取一些数据。 问题是上下文无法从Web.config中看到连接字符串。

如何使Web.config的连接字符串可用于模板?

更多信息:

  • 模板是从头开始编写的
  • EF edmx位于另一个项目中
  • 我在模板中创建的第一个查询告诉我它无法在模板所在的项目中找到所需的连接字符串

尝试了下面的一些解决方案(谢谢),但我明白了:

Error 2 Compiling transformation: 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating12165CB53B43A726CBA54A29800255D257AAFD4D5F0DACE4DFE5872F2DEC7739EDF358F49C0444A912B851939903A79BC6180FCEB3FD0D1BF8C0093741DDDACA.GeneratedTextTransformation' does not contain a definition for 'Host' and no extension method 'Host' accepting a first argument of type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating12165CB53B43A726CBA54A29800255D257AAFD4D5F0DACE4DFE5872F2DEC7739EDF358F49C0444A912B851939903A79BC6180FCEB3FD0D1BF8C0093741DDDACA.GeneratedTextTransformation' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

我声明了以下内容:

<#@ assembly name="EnvDTE" #>
<#@ import namespace="EnvDTE" #>
<#@ import namespace="Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating" #>

如果我包含Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating的程序集,它会告诉我它已经插入。

另外,有没有什么方法可以让ConfigurationManager对DbContext可用,这样他就可以在没有我传递连接字符串的情况下在幕后阅读?


解决了,再次感谢:

<#@ template hostspecific="true" language="C#" debug="false" #>
<#@ assembly name="System.Core.dll" #>
<#@ assembly name="System.Configuration" #>
<#@ import namespace="Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating" #>
<#@ import namespace="System.Configuration" #>

var map = new ExeConfigurationFileMap();
map.ExeConfigFilename = this.Host.ResolvePath(@"..\Web.config");

var config = ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration(map, ConfigurationUserLevel.None);
var connectionString = config.ConnectionStrings.ConnectionStrings["MyConnectionName"].ConnectionString;

我从下一个方式从T4模板访问App.config中的连接字符串:

<#@ template debug="false" hostspecific="true" language="C#" #>

ExeConfigurationFileMap configFileMap = new ExeConfigurationFileMap(this.Host.ResolvePath(@"..\ProjName\App.config"));
configFileMap.ExeConfigFilename = this.Host.ResolvePath(@"..\ProjName\App.config");
Configuration config = ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration(configFileMap, ConfigurationUserLevel.None);
string connectionString = config.ConnectionStrings.ConnectionStrings[0].ConnectionString;

Injecting Your Web.Config Connection String Into Your T4 Template为您提供了一个T4模板,可以从web.config和app.config中读取连接字符串。我基于它创建了自定义版本,这为我节省了很多时间。

如果任何人都需要解析Web.config文件的绝对路径(例如,包含一个.tt文件,并且该文件从不同相对路径中的多个其他.tt文件中使用):

<#@ template debug="true" hostspecific="true" language="C#" #>
<#@ assembly name="EnvDTE" #>
<#@ Assembly Name="System.Configuration" #>
<#@ import namespace="System.IO" #>
<#@ import namespace="System.Configuration" #>
<#+
string GetConnectionString()
{
    var map = new ExeConfigurationFileMap();
    var configPath = Path.Combine(
        Host.ResolveAssemblyReference("$(SolutionDir)"), "WwwFolderInSolution", "Web.config");

    map.ExeConfigFilename = configPath;

    var config = ConfigurationManager.
        OpenMappedExeConfiguration(map, ConfigurationUserLevel.None);

    return config.ConnectionStrings.ConnectionStrings["MyConnectionString"].ConnectionString;
}
