I
created a sample solution like this,
▋Export needed projects
And that will create two zip files.
▋Project template
Now extract the zip files and just keep the extracted
folders as following.
You can still edit the template metadata in MyTemplate.vstemplate
for each project template.
▋Create solution level
.vstemplate
Create an xml file named Root.vstemplate
$ copy nul> Root.vstemplate
|
PS. Icon is optional.
▋Root.vstemplate
<VSTemplate Version="3.0.0" Type="ProjectGroup" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/vstemplate/2005">
<TemplateData>
<Name>JB's Template</Name>
<Description>A Solution Template sample</Description>
<ProjectType>CSharp</ProjectType>
<ProjectSubType>
</ProjectSubType>
<SortOrder>1000</SortOrder>
<CreateNewFolder>true</CreateNewFolder>
<DefaultName>JB.AspnetCore</DefaultName>
<ProvideDefaultName>true</ProvideDefaultName>
<LocationField>Enabled</LocationField>
<EnableLocationBrowseButton>true</EnableLocationBrowseButton>
<Icon>favicon.ico</Icon>
</TemplateData>
<TemplateContent>
<ProjectCollection>
<ProjectTemplateLink ProjectName="$projectname$.AspnetCore.Website">
JB.AspnetCore.Website\MyTemplate.vstemplate
</ProjectTemplateLink>
<ProjectTemplateLink ProjectName="$projectname$.AspnetCore.Service">
JB.AspnetCore.Website\MyTemplate.vstemplate
</ProjectTemplateLink>
</ProjectCollection>
</TemplateContent>
</VSTemplate>
|
▋Pack the solution
template
Compress all the project template folders, icon and
Root.vstemplate to a zip file.
Copy it to ~\Documents\Visual Studio {version}\Templates\ProjectTemplates
And now we can create a visual studio solution with this
solution template.
