Hi Satish,

You'll find a very useful information in the gax documentation, which is installed with gax. Regarding your question the value of Type attribute is the fully qualified name of any type. You can use the default guidance page as a baseline to build your own package.

Hi Satish,

You can see the source code of existing software factories like, Web Client and Web Service software factories. If you go thru the code, you will be able to understand and relate lot of thing w.r.t GAT. Apart from this you have a little stuff provided by the help file which comes with GAT installation.

The answer to your second question is, no need to changing the assembly details under the wizardextentions in the xml file.

noor,

but could you be more specific locations that really help as a starting point to understand well
