Add solution folder to visual studio project template

Question

Is it possible to add a solution folders with the project template? If it's not built in functionality, is it possible to create a custom task for this?

Answer 1

This is bit tricky. You cannot do this with simple project template. Project templates could operate only on single project level. To implement more advanced logic, you need to implement WizardExtension and register it within .vstemplate file of your template.

<WizardExtension>
    <Assembly>AssemblyInGACWithSomeLogic</Assembly>
    <FullClassName>MySuperWizardExtension</FullClassName>
</WizardExtension> 

You can find more about wizard extensions on MSDN.
