What is a TT file?

TT files mostly belong to Visual Studio by Microsoft. A TT file is a design-time or a run-time T4 text template used to generate program source code for a Visual Basic project created with Visual Studio integrated development environment. A TT text template contains text, variables, directives, and imported libraries required to generate a program. TT-Processor extension for Visual Studio Code can also be used to parse a TT text template for generating Visual Basic program source code. Another type of TT file is a True Type Font used by older versions of macOS. These days, True Type fonts are saved in TTF or TTE files.

How to open a TT file

You need a suitable software like Visual Studio to open a TT file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert.
