Creating Custom Project Wizards
-
Hey, I am trying to create a custom ASP.NET Web Application wizard. The only the difference between the default wizard and the one i wish to create is that i add a small directory of files to the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vb7\VBWizards\MyCustomWizard\Templates\1033" folder. I have tried the tutorial here here[^] but am unable to adapt it to my needs of a web application project rather than a class library project. Does anyone knoew how to create a custom web application project or know of any tutorials where it is possible. Thanks for your time Chris

Well if you are talking about VS2003 then there are steps described in the following site: http://www.sellsbrothers.com/writing/default.aspx?content=projectitemtemplates.htm This walkthrough is very useful just follow it I am pretty sure it will work for you, I am looking into the same thing for VS2005 looks like Microsoft changed it so if you know anything about that let me know. Cheers

Hey, Cheers for the reply. But i am afraid the link is for creating a wizard for adding an item to an already created project and not creating a wizard for a custom project. What i am trying to do is when you create a ASP.NET Web Application from the 'File > New Project' menu, a folder for that project is created and has the default files of WebForm1.aspx, style.css, etc.. in it. I am trying to create a template so that when the project is created, in the Solution Explorer there is now an extra directory with my files in. Hope this helps, I will try to help u on the other issue also. Regards Chris
