Template-based code generator.
You can use it to generated code, write database documentation, generate UI code from a database table, HTML reports from an output file, etc.
XiGenerator uses ASP.NET-style templates, allows you to open free-form XML documents, generate multiple output files (from multiple input files), and can be used as a custom tool inside Visual Studio .NET.

Code generation tool.
Skeleton Crew does not generate full applications, full application tiers or ready to use libraries. It generates skeleton code for you to later modify.
Skeleton Crew introduces a language called Pseudo.Net, which is a modeling language designed to speed model building by removing the need for implementation details and typing lengthy constructs such as properties. Its syntax is similar to C#, but it does not support expressions or statements, only type and member declarations.
Features include:
- XML Modeler: builds a .NET XML serializable code model from sample XML.
- Pseudo.Net Modeler: uses the Pseudo.Net modeling language to generate model structure.
- Code models built with either tool can be rendered to languages including C#, VB.NET, Java, SQL & XSD.

The Gardens Point Parser Generator (GPPG) is a Yacc/Bison like parser generator.
Both the parser generator and the parser runtime components are implemented entirely in C#. The parser generator takes a Bison/Yacc style grammar specification with semantic actions coded in C# and produces an LALR(1) parser. It is designed to be simple, efficient and as similar as possible to Yacc/Bison in functionality. It does not include a scanner/lexical analyser generator.

Source code generator for VB.NET, C#, and Java.
Source Cutter generates object to relational mappings via a data access layer, and also produces presentation layer logic by creating web pages and Windows forms for the data access layer. Source Cutter can build Web or Windows-based solutions using metadata obtained from any major database (SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, MySQL, Access, etc.).
Source Cutter also provides template based extensibility. By modifying the existing templates or creating your own templates you can alter the source code generated. The markup language used by the templates is similar to ASP or JSP-based scripting.
The JSP Generators come with freely redistributable JSP custom tags.

This Visual Studio add-in aims to give the developer a code generation tool based on XML and XSLT that is simple to use.
Visual Studio XGen lets developers generate code (HTML, ASP, ASP.NET, SQL, C++, C#, VB) using XML and XSLT inside VS.NET. It adds a single command to the Tools menu: vsxgen. When you click it it will search through all projects in your solution looking for .xtranslate files, which define how to translate XML files using XSLT files.

The Software Production Machine (SoProMach) is a software generation engine providing a foundation for specialized code and documentation generators. It's a generalized, language-neutral, multiplatform software source code and documentation generator, capable of accepting several input formats, such as XML, CSV, plain text, and Sisendel EF (entity files), a new textual multitier entity design language for describing metadata.
Several SoProMach-based generators are available for different purposes and target platforms: .NET (C#, VB.NET, ASPX), J2EE, J2SE, PHP, SQL, XML, HTML, etc.
Sopromach is made up of two components:
- Sisendel: SImple Software ENtity DEsign Language. It is a high-level, declarative language to design multi-tier entities and consistently generate database, logic, user interface and documentation files from one textual multi-facet definition.
- Tefigel: TExt FIle GEneration Language. This is the generic low-level file generator or templating machine of Sopromach. It also has built-in list processing and XML/HTML parsing capabilities.
SoProMach can be integrated with any IDE providing support for external tool invocation. IDE integration of SoProMach has been tested with: Eclipse 3, Visual Studio 2005 Beta, Visual Basic Express 2005 Beta, JBuilder X, CodeWarrior Development Studio v2.8.
SoProMach is available for the following platforms: Linux 2.4 (or higher) on x86; Mac OS X 10.2 (or higher) on PowerPC; Windows 2000/XP on x86.

ADCG (Automatic Data Class Generator) is a tool written to speed-up the writing of C# XML class structures.
In applications there is often the need to write an XML Parser for a specific XML format, and map XML data to C# data classes in an object-oriented approach. Using ADCG, developers can define the needed data structure using a specific XML file (called SDF), that is simpler to write than a typical XSD file. Starting from one of these files, the tool automatic generates C# class files complete with get/set accessors, XML Binding functions and other useful code using .NET standard technologies.

C# schema compiler that supports several different variations of code generation.
Dingo is designed to generate JXB style source using interfaces and concrete classes. It can generate Jaxb style code with interface and concrete class, abstract class, or XSD style code. You can also generate code without any XML serialization support if you don't want to use XML. Currently supports the ability to extend a complexType with an external C# class. For example, say you want to use the schema in a GUI and it requires all classes implement a callback interface. Using a similar approach to Sun's JXB XJC, Dingo can add the interface to every class.
Features include: Supports System.Xml.Serialization, Generates one file per class, Generate concrete classes, Generate interface and concrete class, Supports jxb:extends for complexType definition, Plugin architecture...

Text preprocessor that provides script based in-code code generation. Text generated by these scripts are inserted back into code. It can be used to provide templates for languages that doesn't support them (C, Pascal) or generating code basing on, for example, XML files. You can use Templarian with any text files so you can use it with any language - C, C#, VB, Delphi, etc. If template is changed you only need to run Templarian again and you source will be regenerated.
The script language is Python-like (it's almost pure Python and you can use Python modules).
