How to: Append Text to the Generated Text

You can use the Write and WriteLine methods to append text to a generated output file. Use these methods in helper functions to add text to the output.

To use the Write and WriteLine methods in a text template

• Add the following code, which has the Write and WriteLine methods, to the template.

  <#
      string item = @"This is my additonal text I want to append to my output file";
      
      for(int i=1; i<4; i+)
      {
          WriteLine(item);  //Using the WriteLine method
      }
      WriteLine(null);
  
      Write(item);  //Using the Write method
  #>
  

  <#
      Dim item As String = "This is my additonal text I want to append to my output file"
      Dim i as Integer = 0
      
      For i = 1 To 3
  
          WriteLine(item)  'Using the WriteLine method
      Next
  
      WriteLine("")
  
      Write(item)  'Using the Write method
  #>
  

  Note

  The Write and WriteLine methods also have overload methods that take (String, Object[]) as arguments. For more information, see Write and WriteLine.
