TextTransformation Class
The abstract base class for all generated transformation classes. This class also provides utility methods and properties for use in text template code.
Namespace: Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public MustInherit Class TextTransformation _
Implements IDisposable
'Usage
Dim instance As TextTransformation
public abstract class TextTransformation : IDisposable
public ref class TextTransformation abstract : IDisposable
public abstract class TextTransformation implements IDisposable
Remarks
The text template transformation process has two steps. In the first step, the text template transformation engine creates a class that is referred to as the generated transformation class. In the second step, the engine compiles and executes the generated transformation class, to produce the generated text output. The generated transformation class inherits from TextTransformation.
Any class specified in an inherits directive in a text template must itself inherit from TextTransformation. TransformText is the only abstract member of this class.
