T4mvc for VB Breaking Everything

Question

I've grown an unhealthy dependency on T4MVC since it's such an awesome library i have been using it for years in c# and have never had much of a problem with it

I am working on a new MVC 4 project in VB and it seems to break a lot of my code, any idea how to fix this i have already tried changing the name of the MVC link generation class in settings but it still seems to be braking a lot of my code it appears to be mostly on the shipped account controller and a few microsoft namespaces anyone had success getting this working in VB

Answer 1

Note that the VB version was not kept up to date with the C# version, so it is based off a much older version of T4MVC. As far as I know, it worked at that time, but I haven't used it myself.

Ideally, we need someone to own maintaining it, but the demand for VB has been limited.
