Referencing a generic class with a t4 template

Has anyone figured out a way to do the following in a t4 template:

public class <#= this.ClassName #> : EntityBase<<#= this.ClassName #>>
{
}

I want the class I'm generating to extend from a generic, but the templating engine throws an error:

Compiling transformation: No overload for method 'ToStringWithCulture' takes '0' arguments

Any thoughts?

Figured out that the issue was an empty block of code in my template - "<#= #>". The generic stuff works fine.
