Gauntlet Description

Gauntlet was developed to be a .NET code generation tool with emphases on simplicity, extensibility, and seamless integration with the .NET build system. It is designed to slot right into your build process, alleviating you of the need to run an external tool for code generation. There is a plethora of code generation tools available for .NET, some commercial and some – like Gauntlet – open source. Why is there a need for another? Gauntlet differs from other code generators by integrating seamlessly with .NET’s build platform, MSBuild. What this means is that when you change an input or template file, you simply build your project to have the corresponding output generated. This works the same whether you’re building from the command line or from within Visual Studio. There is no need to start up an external tool, or even to know that Gauntlet is being used to generate the output. Gauntlet also provides extensibility points for the entire generation process. If you need to support a custom input format, you can. If you need to integrate with a proprietary template engine, you can.
