CodeSmith debugging

Debugging

Writing CodeSmith templates requires debugging as much as writing programs, and CodeSmith supports the use of CLR's Just-in-Time debugger debugger debugger debugger debugs.

To debug a template, first open the debug debug in the CodeTemplate declaration:

<%@ CodeTemplate Language="C#" TargetLanguage="C#" Debug="True" %>

The second step is to set break points: call System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break ();

System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch();
System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();

In calling System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break (); You need to call System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch ();

This pauses visual Studio at the specified break point at Generate Output:

You can also add debug information with .Net's System.Diagnostics.Trace and System.Diagnostics.Debug.
