[Mono-list] Question on Code Generation

Well, sounds like I'll have to roll up some sleeves and start hacking. :-)
Actually, that's what one of the other teams is using (of which I have very
little information other than the tools they use, e.g. Visual Studio and
CodeSmith).  Me and my co-workers are expecting that we may have to adopt
that to dive right in and work with their code.  As of now, the word is that
CodeSmith will be able to cut down the clutter on many things.  I presume if
I see what CodeSmith actually generates, it may be relatively
straightforward to produce a template generator.

If anyone has ideas and opinions, I'll really appreciate it because it's
still some time away from when I'll be doing some heavy .Net work and would
be nice to be prepared.

Thanks!
