This project is retired. No future releases are planned.


The Guidance Automation Toolkit (GAT) allows you to author guidance packages and software factories which expose reusable code and pattern assets directly in Visual Studio 2008. It is designed to simplify integrating reusable code into applications, by automating development activities that developers would usually perform manually. By using the toolkit, architects can ensure repetitive and often error-prone activities are performed in a consistent way, streamlining and accelerating the development process.
