We have been working with Microsoft over the past few months to ensure that CodeSmith Generator works with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. The currently released version of CodeSmith Generator 5.x already supports Visual Studio 2010 Integration. Although the current support is titled as beta we have ran into very few Visual Studio 2010 bugs and will completely stand behind Visual Studio 2010.

During the development of our CodeSmith Generator CSLA templates we have spent a lot time unit testing the generated code to ensure everything was working correctly.

This article will help you upgrade your solutions templates safely and easily to the latest major or minor version. The latest templates can be found on our repository and the latest nightly build can be found here. The first thing to do is to download the template framework you wish to update.
