T4Wrap ======

The T4 template provides an easy way to generate C# class proxy, regardless whether you just want a proxy to customize behavior or you want some framework class covered with your custom interface for better unit testing.

What it does

The T4 template does a few things:

• generates namespace for proxy
• generates class proxy, adding virtual where possible
• generates proxy interface and implements all wrapped class’s top level interfaces explicitly
• generates simple class factory and its interface

What is supported

Here is a list of what's supported (not mentioned is not tested):

• constructors, methods
• properties and indexers
• events and event accessors
• top level explicit interfaces
• arrays
• params, out and ref arguments
• generics with exact types (no pure generics)
• nested types

Note: there is no usings or pretty alignment - I don't care as long as machine can read it (use Ctrl+K-D if you really want to work with the code).

How to use it

Finally, this is the best known way to use the template:

• Rename template file as you feel necessary. Better use target proxy class name for this.
• Set target type and namespace in NAMES section of the template.
• Make sure type assembly is referenced by _assembly_ directive.
• Optionally (at your own risk), adjust metadata selectors in SELECTORS section of the template.
• To tweak template, scroll down to the bottom. This is REAL stuff, so don't ask why it's written that way :P

Testing

Template is written and debugged in Visual Studio 2017, tested with String, SortedDictionary`, ``SQLCommand, etc.
