可以这里下载，也可以在 vs的 工具——扩展管理器 里面搜索 安装即可。

引入一些常用的命名空间并使用的方法如下：

<#@ template debug="false" hostspecific="false" language="C#" #>
<#@ output extension=".txt" #>
<#@ assembly name="System.Core" #>
<#@ assembly name="System.Xml" #>
<#@ assembly name="System.Xml.Linq" #>
<#@ import namespace="System" #>
<#@ import namespace="System.Text" #>
<#@ import namespace="System.IO" #>
<#@ import namespace="System.Linq" #>
<#@ import namespace="System.Xml.Linq" #>
<#
    var a = "sdfsdf".Select(it => it);
    foreach (var b in a)
    {
#>
   <#= b #>   
<#
}
#>

载入自定义dll，如

<#@ Assembly Name="E:\CodeTest\TestT4\My\bin\Debug\My.dll" #>

<#@ Import Namespace="My" #>

一个模板生成多个文件，范例（详见：http://www.olegsych.com/2008/03/how-to-generate-multiple-outputs-from-single-t4-template/）

<#@ template debug="False" hostspecific="True" language="C#" #>
<#@ assembly name="System.Core" #>
<#@ assembly name="System.Xml" #>
<#@ assembly name="System.Xml.Linq" #>
<#@ assembly name="System.Web" #>
<#@ Assembly Name="System.Web.Mvc" #>
<#@ import namespace="System" #>
<#@ import namespace="System.Text" #>
<#@ import namespace="System.IO" #>
<#@ import namespace="System.Linq" #>
<#@ import namespace="System.Xml.Linq" #>
<#
    HelloWorld(12);
    SaveOutput("test1.txt");
    HelloWorld(13);
    SaveOutput("test2.txt");
    HelloWorld(14);
    SaveOutput("test3.txt");
 #>

<#+

    void HelloWorld(int i)
    {
        Write("Hello World" + i);
  #>
  This is file <#= i #>
<#+
  }
#>

<#+
    void SaveOutput(string outputFileName)
 {
     string templateDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName(Host.TemplateFile);
     string outputFilePath = Path.Combine(templateDirectory, outputFileName);
     File.WriteAllText(outputFilePath, this.GenerationEnvironment.ToString());
     this.GenerationEnvironment.Remove(0, this.GenerationEnvironment.Length);
 }

Oleg also has a CodePlex project called T4 Toolbox that is a library of T4 templates that get added to File | New Item.

Also, check out Damien Guard's T4 templates that are a wholesale replacement of code that LINQ to SQL generates.
