Codify 1.1

Workstate is pleased to announce the availability of Codify 1.1, a
unique code generation add-in for Visual Studio. =20

Codify allows .NET developers to eliminate tedious coding tasks, foster
coding standards and create powerful generative programming tools.
Features include:

- Multiple code generators (called CodeBuilders) can be embedded within
any source code file in a project.  CodeBuilders can generate anything
from a few lines of code (micro code generation) to entire class
hierarchies (macro code generation).
- CodeBuilder parameters are specified as XML and can be edited either
textually or visually using the CodeBuilder editor.=20
- Codify templates can be easily created or customized using the
built-in template editor.  The template editor fully supports two
distinct scripting styles: CodifyScript (similar to ASP.NET scripting)
and XSLT.
- Several advanced features are included such as User Code Regions (for
better round-trip engineering of generated code) and Visual Studio
Automation access from within template scripting code.

Codify also includes many useful templates that can be used as-is or can
be completely customized.  The built-in templates include:

- Simple SQL Server Data Access Layer:  Generates a class that contains
a strongly-typed method for each stored procedure in your database.
- Strongly-Typed Collections: Generates strongly-typed collection and
dictionary classes.
- Simple Property Builder:  A time saving template that generates simple
properties within a target class that get and set their values from a
private field.
- Windows Forms Menu Builder: Creates custom MainMenu and ContextMenu
classes that encapsulate all of the tedious code required to create and
initialize Windows Forms menus.
- Strongly-Typed Class Resources: For a given class, this template
generates a useful inner class called ClassResources that provides you
with strongly-typed access to all of the .resx resources defined for the
class.
- Many others.
