To invoke text template transformation in a Visual Studio extension, get the STextTemplating service, cast it to ITextTemplating, and then use the methods there:
ITextTemplating tt = ServiceProvider.GetService(typeof(STextTemplating)) as ITextTemplating; tt.ProcessTemplate(templatePath, templateContent, errorCallback, vsProjectHierarchy);
