  • Replace some unwanted tab characters with whitespace

2.6.61 (08-01-2011):

  • Added AddTimestampToStaticLink() method to settings file to allow more granular decision (per this post)
  • Added GenerateMvcT4Extensions settings flag to omit the generation of the System.Web.Mvc.T4Extensions class, which can be useful if it is already defined in a referenced library (see this post)

2.6.44 (03-10-2011):

  • Added UseNonQualifiedViewNames flag which when set to true causes view names never to be fully qualified. Spark users may need that.

2.6.43 (02-24-2011):

  • Renamed T4MVC.settings.t4 to T4MVC.tt.settings.t4 so it feels more like a 'child' file of T4MVC.tt

  • Added AJAX BeginForm overloads

  • Changed ExplicitHtmlHelpersForPartials flag to be off by default (and fix a small issue when it's off)
  • Handled System.NotImplementedException if project type (e.g. Installer) does not implement CodeModel property
  • Fixed issue when action method params are all optional (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3488610/t4mvc-and-named-parameters)
  • Exclude Area related methods when using MVC 1.0, as that was breaking things
  • Added logic to special case DisplayTemplates/EditorTemplates folders, since they need short view names passed in

2.6.21 (07-20-2010):

  • Fix to the partial extension feature added in 2.6.20 to deal with conflicts

2.6.20 (07-19-2010):

  • Added extension methods to render partial views (see this post)
    • e.g. Html.RenderPartial("Map", Model.Dinner); --> Html.RenderMap(Model.Dinner);
    • Can be turned off in settings file via ExplicitHtmlHelpersForPartials flag.

2.6.15 (05-16-2010):

  • Added missing MapRoute overloads to support namespaces

  • Added support for Views folders that don't match a controller name.

  • Added AddTimestampToStaticLinks flag to T4MVC.settings.t4 to generate static links that change when the file changes.
  • Added support for [Bind(Prefix = "newParamName")] attribute so it generates the correct route value
  • Added an AddRouteValues overload that takes NameValueCollection, e.g.
    • MVC.Home.About().AddRouteValues(Request.QueryString)
  • Added MapRoute overload that supports contraints
  • Removed some logic to support VS2010 Beta 2. VS2010 RC or later should now be used.

2.6.12 (01-15-2010):

  • Fixed issue where some special project types (e.g. DB projects) were throwing while enumerating over the list
  • Changed to use GeneratedCode attribute instead of the less correct CompilerGenerated
  • Fixed CompilerGenerated/DebuggerNonUserCode attributes so they don't incorrectly affect the control classes

  • Improved error handling when trying to call T4MVC method with real ActionResult (previous threw InvalidCast)
  • Fix issue when overridden action methods were incorrectly marked as virtual

2.6.10 (01-04-2010):

  • Added support for adding arbitrary route parameters to T4MVC actions. e.g.
    • MVC.Home.About().AddRouteValue("fooKey", bar.Foo.Key)
    • MVC.Home.About().AddRouteValues(new {fooKey = bar.Foo.Key, barKey = bar.Key})
  • Added shorter to refer to controller actions from with the controller itself. e.g.
    • return RedirectToAction(MVC.MyController.Actions.About()); BECOMES:
    • return RedirectToAction(Actions.About());
  • What was previously called Actions was renamed to ActionNames (note, that's a BREAKING CHANGE if you used Actions before!)
  • Ignore controller methods that are marked with a NonAction attribute
  • Renamed IT4MVCActionResult.RouteValues to avoid conflict (this should not break anything, as it's only used internally)

2.6.03 (12-10-2009):

  • Generate full view paths to allow cross controller references
    • e.g. MVC.Dinners.Views.DinnerForm is now "~/Views/Dinners/DinnerForm.ascx" instead of just "DinnerForm"
  • Fix compile error when a view name is a language keyword (e.g. string.ascx)
