Guys,

I am new to your dsl tool, and I am trying to follow the workthroughs in the Help. I am stuck at the "Walkthrough: Creating and Running Text Templates" where I keep getting the same error when trying to run the Custom tool on the text template copied and pasted from the Help:

Error 1 The processor named 'ClassDiagramExampleDirectiveProcessor' does not support the directive named 'modelRoot'. The transformation will not be run. C:\Documents and Settings\chuijh.AHNTDOM1\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\ClassDiagramExample\Debugging\TextFile1.txt 2 4 Debugging

Did I miss something here?

Joe

Hi Joe,

make sure your LibraryCode.tt (pay attention, file name is LibraryCode.tt and not TextFile1.txt) looks like this:

===========================

<#@ template inherits="Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating.VSHost.ModelingTextTransformation"#>
<#@ ClassDiagramExample processor="ClassDiagramExampleDirectiveProcessor" requires="fileName='Sample.testcd'" #>

<#
foreach(ModelType type in this.ModelRoot.Types)
{
#>
<#= type.Name#>
<#
}
#>

===========================

The first two lines are called directives - they tell the text templating engine what to do with the rest of the code and text.

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks

Kirill

It works, thanks.

I think it works because "ClassDiagramExample" is used in your

<#@ ClassDiagramExample processor="ClassDiagramExampleDirectiveProcessor" requires="fileName='Sample.testcd'" #>

instead of "modelRoot". I looked at the generated code on DirectiveProcessor.cs, and "ClassDiagramExample" is added to collection.

It makes me believe the software and its Help are not in sync on my PC.
