The AutoRunCustomTool Visual Studio extension was created to address this exact scenario.

It seems like T4 Toolbox is not available for VS2012. However there is now a feature in tangible T4 Editor that allows you to simply add a auto-transformed template to any exisitng file in your solution so that when the parent file is saved the dependend t4 file is transformed. See here:

You can do that with T4 Toolbox. Select the file in Solution Explorer and set the Custom Tool Template in the Properties window.

I get this answer form How can set the custom tool property of an xml file to a T4 file?
