Workaround(s)
I'm the author of the TFDP extension that provides T4 template generation for VS2010 database project (pre-SSDT) and am looking into porting the extension to the SSDT but found that there is no API available to extend. By using ILSpy I've been able to track down that extensibility would be possible but for now almost the entire API is declared internal so there is no extensibility point available without resorting to ugly hacks.
A couple of forum posts on the MSDN site showed that there are other requests out there but no indication if a public API is forthcoming.
Details (expand)

Product Language

English

Category

Developer Tools (SSDT, BIDS, etc.)

Proposed Solution

Parts of the API could be made public so 3rd party developers can extend the SSDT.

Primary Benefit

Faster Development

Other Benefits

 

Virtualization

Hi Sander, thanks for contacting the SSDT team. While we aren't actively working on extensibility at this time, it's on our radar and it's something we'd like to deliver in the future. Thanks for letting us know that it's a valuable feature for you.
