  Weird folder structure when using a project template ?

  Jul 07, 2014 02:38 AM|robby32|LINK

  Hi,

  I have a template where i have two projects 

  Lets say Project1 , Project 2

  when i import the template I have created into Visual Studio and create a new project the .sln file is created one directory below the startup project 

  what i was after is that the if i create a directory structure 

  Format\TestFormat\TestFormat <------ this is the first project

  Format\TestFormat\TestFormatApplication <--- second project

  the .sln file get created in Format directory whereas I want it to be created in the Format\TestFormat\ directory. 

  How can i do this ?

  Attached is the .vstemplate I am using

  <VSTemplate Version="2.0.0" Type="ProjectGroup" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/vstemplate/2005">
  	<TemplateData>
  		<Name>TestFormat</Name>
  		<Description>An example of a multi-project template</Description>
  		<ProjectType>CSharp</ProjectType>
  	</TemplateData>
  	<TemplateContent>
  		<ProjectCollection>
  			<ProjectTemplateLink ProjectName="$safeprojectname$">
  				TestFormat\MyTemplate.vstemplate
  			</ProjectTemplateLink>
  			<ProjectTemplateLink ProjectName="$safeprojectname$Application">
  				TestFormatApplication\MyTemplate.vstemplate
  			</ProjectTemplateLink>	
  		</ProjectCollection>
  	</TemplateContent>
  </VSTemplate>

  thanks

  In our Configuring and deploying forum, we deal with relevant issues about configuring and deploying ASP.NET applications - web.config, \bin, etc.

  According to your description above, I think this issue is related to your Visual Studio, it's recommended to get help from Visual Studio and Visual Web Developer Express forum - Discussions on using VS and VWD Express for ASP.NET development.
