I'm looking for a way to make use of an assembly referenced by the project with an alias (i.e. other than global) from a runtime T4 template.
My goal is to be able to reference a namespace, with all its content obviously, from that assembly:
<#@ import namespace="CustomAlias::Target.Namespace" #>
Basically, I'm looking for the equivalent of writing something like:
extern alias CustomAlias;
using CustomAlias::Target.Namespace;
I've attempted searching, here and Google, and the only mention that I've found for aliases in a T4 context was about giving an alias to a namespace. Which is not my current issue.
Is this possible to do, or should I start looking for an alternative solution?
<#@ template compilerOptions="-reference:CustomAlias=SomeAssembly" #>to do this. – Recidivate
