Code Generation in Microsoft .NET (Expert's Voice Books for Professionals by Professionals)

Code Generation in Microsoft .NET (Expert's Voice Books for Professionals by Professionals), 9781590591376 (1590591372), Apress, 2004

APPLICATION CODE GENERATION REVOLUTIONIZES the way you write programs by letting you reuse solutions wherever and whenever you want. Focusing on the big picture, you can build better solutions. Or industry gurus can use templates as an IV to feed their expertise directly into your project. Either way, you’ll build a higherquality application faster and be ready for changes during development and throughout the application life cycle. Code generation provides this level of software agility at the same time it allows you to create massive amounts of code.

Code generation is any way you create code other than writing it line by line in an editor. It’s already part of your development strategies because Visual Studio uses it to perform several key tasks. But that type of code generation is free with Visual Studio, so you don’t need to read a book about it. Code generation can also become a tool in your own arsenal for solving problems, and this book teaches you how to do your own code generation. Third-party tools don’t yet offer the flexibility and control you need.

Code generation is simply code that writes code. At first glance that may seem to offer more complexity than benefit, but a great deal of what you write is applying similar patterns over and over. You’re probably already effective in spotting identical code to extract common logic into utility methods and class hierarchies. What if you could be just as effective in pulling out pattern-based code that was similar but not identical?
