# Predefined CodeDOM implementations for common .NET usage patterns

[Omer Van Kloeten adds some predefined CodeDOM implementations for common .NET usage patterns](http://weblogs.asp.net/okloeten/archive/2005/11/01/429153.aspx). Very cool and pretty darn useful for anyone doing some development with the Microsoft .NET Code DOM to generate source code on the fly.

I've known Omer for a while now, and if there's one thing this guys knows well, it's generating code. (Of course he knows lots more, but seems like that's his passion lately)

_"The CLR and other .NET code contain many recurring patterns. As these patterns appear in code, they may also appear in CodeDom, yet generating those patterns takes much work, which is quite repetitive. This library contains several pattern implementations for use in your CodeDom code."_
