Hello.
This time Modelisoft has created, a syntax coloring editor feature for the .ReportTemplate files that are generated in the Debugging solution. (and more generally for the T3 files)
It enables the C# transformation code to be visually distinguised from the Template content.
We think that this (again very simple) tool might be as helpfull to others that it is to us. You can find it at http://www.modelisoft.com/ColorizedT3.aspx
Enjoy it !
Valerie.

This is great! It will improve the experience for editing templates. Thank you very much for the contribution.
We did have an intern working on a similar project (a template editor) over the past few weeks. We are not sure if/when the editor will be completed/released. We are exploring all possibilities because we know our customers would really appreciate a good template editing experience.
Thanks,

An updated version is available at the same URL, which corrects coloration problems.
Best regards.

Hi George.
We are very pleased to read that you will eventually release a real template editor. This will, indeed improve user experience as far template editing is concerned.
Ours is very simple, and partial (it only produces basic lexical syntax coloring, no grammar correctness verification, no braces matching and no completion. All those features would be necessary). < xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
We just wrote it because it was too difficult to handle a template that counts more than a few lines when working with black text on white background: we are now used to experiencing more comfort!
Many thanks
for your reaction , for this information, and for very valuable work that your team has been doing.
Best regards
Valerie.
