I have just found out about the existence of T4 generator today. Is a very simple yet powerful Template based text generation engine. It uses very familiar asp.net syntax <# #> Its simplicity is its strength. There is a good site on the T4 Text Template Transformation Toolkit by Oleg Sych
If you have not tried it out you should give it a go.
Looking at generation I am wondering why they have stopped at the generation part. MVC pattern is screaming out to be implemented as part of the generation. I know the MVC model is designed to be implement as part of user interface design. However I think there is a good fit here. The Template generation is clearly the rendering of the view. The model will be the domain specific model such as the data schema when implementing the crud model on top of a relational schema. The controller is responsible for populating the model based on the instance required by the view. As such the part which is screaming out to be specialized is the controller.
Consider the power of the following example which from what i can tell is not possible
<@# template language="C#" Inherits="GeneratedTextTransformation<MyHelloWorld>#>
<# Write(Model.HelloWorld); #>
There is still a bit of learning to do, T4 is looking promising
