[Mono-list] Question on Code Generation

[anton123]

I took a peek at T4 and it looks interesting.  I'm still going through the
tutorials on Mono development though so I'll take a deeper look on it once I
get a better handle on Mono.

I'll try everything I can to make Mono work for my project.  I'm hell bent
on it.  That much can be said. :-)
