The uigen config file is the configuration
file for uigen.exe. It specifies "placeholders"
and their values, which uigen.exe
uses in
the templates.
There is also a settings
node with path
information.
Settings
templateRoot
: which set of templates to use
for generating the web application projectprojectNameSpaceRoot
: how to name the (directory of)
the new web application projectdomainNameSpaceRoot
: where to find the (directory of)
the domain assemblies project from which the
web application project is generated
Please note that the settings
projectNameSpaceRoot
anddomainNameSpaceRoot
assume that these two directories are always
peer directories sharing the same parent directory.
What's more, uigen.exe
assumes that they share
this directory with the uigen config file.
This is not a convention, it is required for
uigen.exe
to work.
Placeholders
$ReferencesDir$
: the name of the node in
the web application project for storing the
references to the domain- and re:motion assemblies
By convention, this node is named "References" in
Visual Studio, so that's probably what you will use
for the placeholder value.$DomainProjectName$
: the name of the node with the
domain project in Visual Studio.$DomainProjectAssembly$
: don't know, FIXME$WebProjectName$
: the of the node with the web application
project in Visual Studio. (generated byuigen.exe
.)$WebProjectAssembly$
: don't know, FIXME$USER_APPNAME$
: a string with the display name of the
web application (generated byuigen.exe
.)$USER_DEFAULT_ASPX_TOPIC$
: a string to be shown on thedefault.aspx
page showing the Start link to aid the user (the string
usually says "To start the application, just click 'Start'")$USER_DEFAULT_STARTPAGES$
: an invocation of the re:call
function to be called automatically after startup. In
other words, an URL-fragment for the browser to go to
after the user has clicked the 'Start' link$USER_STATUSBAR$
: don't know, FIXME$USER_CLASSIC_APPSTYLE$
: don't know, FIXME$USER_STORAGEPROVIDER$
: the name of the storage-provider, as
declared in the web project'sWeb.config
file (generated by
uigen.exe
)$USER_CATALOGNAME$
: the name of the database (and the
identifier for the connection string) in the web project's
Web.config
file (generated byuigen.exe
)$USER_LAYERSUPERTYPE$
: The identifier of the domain object
classes common ancestor (see also: layer super-type
Please note that these placeholders are not the
only ones that exist. Placeholders are also extracted from
the domain assemblies as well. You can find a
list of these extracted placeholders at
https://at-vie-remotion/svn/Remotion/trunk/ObjectBinding/Web.CodeGenerator/Core/Placeholder.cs
What's more, the values of settings are mirrored by placeholders,
but those placeholders have slightly different names:
projectNamespaceRoot
is mirrored by$PROJECT_ROOTNAMESPACE$
domainNamespaceRoot
is mirrored by$DOMAIN_ROOTNAMESPACE$
templateRoot
is mirrored by$ROOT_TEMPLATE_DIR$
targetRoot
is mirrored by$ROOT_TARGET_DIR$
