Razor Template

The Razor template uses the Microsoft Razor engine to render any text based output. You specify the Template File which is a Razor template containing text and variables, and an Output File which is the file you want to produce. You can also specify Template Variables which can be used within your template in the format of @Context.Template["VariableName"] which will then be converted when the task is run.

Please refer to Create a Razor Template in the Tutorials section.

Settings

Output File

Required
The name of the file to be output after being processed through the Razor template engine.

Additional Namespaces

Optional Optionally add namespaces to your razor template.

Prepend Timestamp

Required
Set to true to add a timestamp to start of file name. Defaults to False. This setting is useful when using this task within a repeater task, as it will ensure the same file is not overwritten each time the task is ran.

Referenced Assemblies

Optional
The list of additional .NET assemblies to reference.

Template File

Required
The name of the file containing the Razor template to be used for processing.

Template Variables

Optional
The collection of user defined variables to be used in the template. They can be accessed in the template file using the @Context.Template variable collection. For example, you would access a variable called 'Forename' using @Context.Template["Forename"].

Timestamp Format

Optional
The format for the timestamp. Only required if the 'Prepend Timestamp' setting is set to True. Defaults to yyyyMMddHHmmssffff.
