Code generation templates

Overview of code generation templates

Templates are used to visualize the structure of generated C# source and to easily modify the C# code produced.

For more information on template editors, please see the Objecteering MDA Modeler User Guide.

Figure 74. C# generation template

Each template element is loaded with a file zone to generate. Roles are summed up in the table below.

The ... template element	is used to generate...
ClassDoc	the C#doc type documentation relative to the class
PackageName	the name of the package in which the class is defined.
Import	the processing of the imported classes and packages.
UtilVector	the import C#.util* of the package when an attribute, an association or a method parameter has the Vector, Stack or Hashtable type.
StandardImport	the processing use links between packages translated by a package import used for all the classes of the user package.
ImportWithTaggedValue	the processing of the C#Import tagged values present on the class or the package to which the class belongs.
HeaderText	the C#Header type texts.
ClassHeader	the class header.
ClassModifiers	the abstract, final, visibility.
ClassName	the name of the class.
Extends	the processing of the generalizations.
Standard	the generalization for a generalization link on a model.
ExtendsWithTaggedValue	the translation of the {C#Extends} tagged values.
Implements	the processing of the interface implementations.
StandardImplements	the implementation for an implementation link on the model.
ImplementsWithTaggedValue	the translation of the {C#Implements} tagged values.
ImplementsWithEnumerations	the implementations which correspond to the enumerations used in the class.
ClassBody	the class body (see below).
DataTypes	the generation into non-public classes of types defined in the class.
Enumerations	the generation in the form of interfaces of enumerations defined in the class.
NonPublicClasses	the generation of non-public classes.
BottomText	the C#Bottom type texts.
