Hello Waldek,

Sorry for late response but I forget all about this thread.
Problem is that t4 doesn't support x64. So I created a new file and use the client object model to generate class. See file here:

@Danny: Does building the project throw any errors or is it only the template?

The problem seems to be that the Template build engine is x86. But I am trying to connect to SP2010. Same problem when you run x86 console app against SP2010.

Hello Waldek,

When I run template I get IO exception on my SharePoint URL. I am sure it is the correct URL.

Any idea what could be the problem?

@Wouter: What I like about it is that it's automatic and always up-to-date. Like you mentioned: the Content Types are quite static once they're done, but so are CRUD methods for a database, right?

Waldek,

I like the idea of creating your own classes for storing field IDs. Something I've been doing for quite some time.
Is this solution more manageable than just doing this:
class FieldID
{
public readonly Guid MyFieldID= new Guid("aabbccdd");
}
IMHO, a T4 template indicates a changing set of content, but FieldIDs are as static as can be…
