Reduce amount of boilerplate code you need to write when working with DTO classes. Let Visual Studio's T4 templating engine do the work for you.
- Name of the class is derived from T4 template's file name
- Namespace is derived from T4 template location inside the project using Visual Studio's standard convention
- DTO generator will carry over comments and "using" statements from T4 template file into the class
- Properties are defined by their type and name typed on one line, separated by a space
