How to add multiple projects to an existing solution using GAT/GAX?

Hi, I'm building a software factory to automate the process of building the initial development solutionusing GAT/GAX.
My kind of applications are module based so after creating the shell (for instance), I need to be able to add several modules.
My Modules are composed by more than one project.

I've managed to create the solution with the shell project, but I'm having problems trying to create a template that let me specify more than one project.


Can someone help me please?

Thanks in advance

What problem/error exactly are you facing? Visual Studio supports multi-project template (look at the .vstemplate documentation) which will allow you to unfold more than 1 project to an existing project. This is even true without using GAX at all.

Hi Victor,

this should you explain. If I try I get the following result:

Adding a Multiproject- Template to a Single Project failed. Errormessage: Element is no projectmapfolder or projectmap.

Of course - It's a Solutionmap
