Question

I have created a template for Visual Studio 2008 and it currently shows up under File->New Project->Visual C#. However, it is only really specific to Visual C#/Windows but I can't work out how to get it to show up under the "Windows" category and not the more general "Visual C#".

Was it helpful?

Solution

Check out MSDN "How to: Locate and Organize Project and Item Templates"

Create a folder within one of these

<VisualStudioInstallDir>\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\CSharp\
My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Templates\ProjectTemplates\CSharp\

OTHER TIPS

Categorization of templates depends on settings (for example, if you choose "C#" settings, all of a sudden all other languages move to an "other languages" tree).

What folder is your template in?
