Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating.VSHost Namespace
This namespace contains types concerned with the text template transformation service in Visual Studio.
To invoke text template transformation in a Visual Studio extension, get the STextTemplating service, cast it to ITextTemplating, and then use the methods there:
ITextTemplating tt = ServiceProvider.GetService(typeof(STextTemplating)) as ITextTemplating;
tt.ProcessTemplate(templatePath, templateContent, errorCallback, vsProjectHierarchy);
For more information, see Customizing T4 Text Transformation.
