Get Visual Studio to run a T4 Template on every build

If you're using Visual Studio 2010, you can use the Visual Studio Modeling and Visualization SDK: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/vsvmsdk

This contains msbuild tasks for executing T4 templates at build time.

Have a look at Oleg's blog for more explanation: http://www.olegsych.com/2010/04/understanding-t4-msbuild-integration
