How can I run EntityFramework Reverse POCO First Generator (T4) program code?

I want to use the "EntityFramework Reverse POCO Code First Generator", but not programmatically from VS. EntityFramework Reverse POCO Github Code

In fact, I want to run T4 for this purpose from C # code. For this, I downloaded a simple-t4 engine A simple T4 engine

I wrote code like this:

        Engine engine = new Engine();
        TemplatingHost host = new TemplatingHost(System.Text.Encoding.UTF32);
        host.IncludeFileSearchPaths.Add(@"D:\IncludeFiles");

        string templateFileName = "some template";
        // NOTE: Doesn't actually seem to care about the name of the template file?  True, but does use the path to search for stuff.
        host.TemplateFile = templateFileName;
        string input = File.ReadAllText(@"D:\IncludeFiles\T4Files\Database.tt");
        string output = engine.ProcessTemplate(input, host);
        File.WriteAllText(@"D:\IncludeFiles\T4Files\Output.txt", output);

        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        foreach (CompilerError error in host.Errors)
        {
           sb.AppendLine(error.ToString());
        }

        File.WriteAllText(@"D:\IncludeFiles\T4Files\ErrorLog.txt", sb.ToString());

But I got some errors (Output.txt is empty)

ErrorLog.txt:

Can someone help me solve this problem? or introduce a better way to run Database.tt at run time to execute in C # programmatically.

Database.tt

  • EF.Reverse.POCO.Core.ttinclude
  • EF.Reverse.POCO.ttinclude
  • EF.Utility.CS.ttinclude
  • EF6.Utility.CS.ttinclude
