VS2022 & VS2019 support

Hi Oleg,

I've managed to make this excellent tool targeting to both Visaul Studio 2019 and Visual Studio 2022.

It is still using deprecated APIs, however, it works.

For anyone who want to use this tool, I'm uploading the built VSIX file here. For Visual Studio 2019: T4Toolbox.16.0.0.0.vsix.zip For Visual Studio 2022: T4Toolbox.17.0.0.0.vsix.zip

Thank you for great work!

It stopped working since VS 17.2.4 update.

it works on my computer, I'm using VS 17.2.5.

could you please show me your .tt file, are you using something like IServiceProvider.GetService ?

[bn-obelu]

Yes, I was using GetService, now it works with GetCOMService. One thing that I think is not working, if I update a template, the generator dosen't update the file with the changes, any ideea why?
