  • Empty Razor Generator

    A stripped down single file generator powered by Razor. Similiar to other generators available with the exception that is an absolute minimal implmentation. It's easy to tweak and very flexible. Driven in part because I love Razor and I would love to see it on WPF/WP7/Silverlight
    Oh, give credit where it's due:
