System.Runtime.Remoting not supported in .net Standard 2.0 about t4

[PulsarFX]

As I mentioned, this may not be a mono issue. I reproduced this in a pure Visual Studio 2019 environment using a .netStandard2.0 class library.

Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2019
VisualStudio.16.Release/16.1.6+29102.190
Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.7.03190

When you click "run custom tool" on the tt file you will find these two unsupported types:

• global::System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerErrorCollection
• global::System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.CallContext.LogicalGetData("sourceFile");

The first one can be added via the System.CodeDom nuget package.

Which version is this with? How are you invoking it?

I don't think it is related to mono.
This happens for me, when there is a parameter involved on a pure windows environment:

parent tt file has an include statement:

<#@ include file="..\some.ttinclude" #>

the included file defines a paramter:

<#@ parameter type="System.String" name="sourceFile" #>

which results in:

public override void Initialize()
{
	base.Initialize();
	if ((this.Errors.HasErrors == false))
	{
		bool sourceFileValueAcquired = false;
		if (this.Session.ContainsKey("sourceFile"))
		{
			this._sourceFileField = ((string)(this.Session["sourceFile"]));
			sourceFileValueAcquired = true;
		}
		if ((sourceFileValueAcquired == false))
		{
			object data = global::System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.CallContext.LogicalGetData("sourceFile");
			if ((data != null))
			{
				this._sourceFileField = ((string)(data));
			}
		}
	}
}

That's very odd. The call to LogicalGetData is only emitted when FEATURE_APPDOMAINS is true:

t4/Mono.TextTemplating/Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplating/ParameterDirectiveProcessor.cs

Line 220 in ce07629

#if FEATURE_APPDOMAINS

And FEATURE_APPDOMAINS is only true for the net40 and net35 builds of the library:

t4/Mono.TextTemplating/Mono.TextTemplating.csproj

Line 11 in cc6dd78

<DefineConstants Condition="'$(TargetFramework)'!='netstandard2.0'">$(DefineConstants);FEATURE_APPDOMAINS</DefineConstants>

Can you give me a more complete repro case?

[mhutch]

Yes, that's using the T4 implementation in VS, not Mono.TextTemplating.
