Specifying the import as suggested by Valk seems to have solved the problem for me, though.

try: import namespace=”Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating.Interfaces”

You can add an assembly reference to it for now but I've been assured that it will be fixed for RTM: <pre><code><#@ assembly name="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies\Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating.Interfaces.10.0.dll" #></code></pre> (remove the (x86) bit on 32-bit machines).

I'm trying to work with a project of mine, and I'm not having much luck. I'm getting the following error: Compiling transformation: The type or namespace name 'ITextTemplatingEngineHost' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) Has something been moved, or made obsolete? Also, it would also appear that the behavior of the keyword may have changed. I have a particular template that must use reflection to accomplish its job, and it no longer finds the assemblies in the bin folder like it used to. Have you tried running this on VS2010b2 yet?

A small problem though is that my files are under TFS source control, and if I edit the template file it and its default output file are automatically checked out, but my additional files are not, and the file update crashes. Its easy enough to avoid by checking the files out first, but is it possible to automatically check out the other files as well before the Manager edits them? Johannes Thanks Damien, great work!

Thanks for sharing this. I saw that the VSManagementStrategy class automatically adds the generated files to the project. Would all generated files show in the solution explorer as nested files of their t4 template? Thanks, Luis Damien,
