Hi.

I am developing a action:

Code Snippet

class AddRISProjectFromTemplate : Action

EnvDTE.DTE dte = this.GetService<ENVDTE.< FONT>DTE>(true);

Solution2 soln = (Solution2)dte.Solution;

string btsRISPrjTemplatePath;

btsRISPrjTemplatePath = soln.GetProjectTemplate("Test.BizTalkTemplate.zip", "CSharp");

the project is added to the sulution, but it is not possible to include the following section in the vstemplate file:

Code Snippet

<WizardExtension>

<Assembly>Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.VisualStudio, Version=1.0.60429.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a</< FONT>Assembly>

<FullClassName>Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.VisualStudio.Templates.UnfoldTemplate</< FONT>FullClassName>

</< FONT>WizardExtension>

<WizardData>

<Template xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/pag/gax-template"

SchemaVersion="1.0"

Recipe="Test">

<References>

</< FONT>References>

</< FONT>Template>

</< FONT>WizardData>

This raises an error

Is there another way to have the template envoke the execution of a recipe?

Thanks for any input

Hi Kees,

are you using a custom user vstemplate for any reason? You should extract that zip file in where you have the templates and copy to the Templates folder in your guidance package solution. Remember to set the copy output as always or something like that. Then register the guidance package, that process will also register your vstemplate in Visual Studio.

Which error are you getting? Please remember to post the error message every time you say you get an error otherwise is hard to guess

right, yea, it was a little bit late at that time.

The first error says

"Template Configuration is missing or invalid" and when you check the details of the error:

==================================

System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot find registration information for template "C:\Documents and Settings\Wouters\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\ProjectTemplatesCache\Logica.EUT.ESB.BizTalkTemplate.zip\BTSProject.vstemplate".

The second message shows the following error:

=======================================

The Test recipe is included in the "main" Bindingrecipe:

</Recipe>

Hope you are able to point to where it goes wrong.

thanks anyway
