Automatically transforms on build all files with a build action of None that have the TextTemplatingFileGenerator custom tools associated.
To install Clarius Transform Text Templates On Build, run the following command in the Package Manager Console:
PM> Install-Package Clarius.TransformOnBuild
Unlike the officially suggested way, this package does not require any Visual Studio SDK to be installed on the machine or build server.
If a full Visual Studio installation is not available on the build server, you can still transform the templates by placing the TextTransform.exe in a known location. Then, you can simply override the path expected by the targets with:
<PropertyGroup>
<TextTransformPath>MyTools\TextTransform.exe</TextTransformPath>
</PropertyGroup>
With that in place, the transformation will be performed using that file instead, if found.
