Parameters not getting updated on unfolding projects programatically in a GP

Hi All,


Requirement:

My requirement is instead of unfolding all the projects while the solution is unfolded, unfold only those projects which user selects. In order to achieve this functionality, I created a wizard which will list the projects available with checkboxes. Only those projects which are checked in the wizard will be unfolded. I am creating the projects thru a customized action and creating all the projects programmatically. And have successfully achieved this.

Scenario:

When you try to create a solution with my guidance package,

a) It takes the Namespace for you solution

b) A wizard will show the list of projects, checked ones will be unfolded and the solution is completely unfolded only with selected projects

c) Later, if you want to create other projects, a recipe is provided which will show list of all projects and also shows, which are already unfolded and which are yet to be unfolded.

d) Here you can check the projects which are not unfolded and very well unfold them.

Problem:

If you are creating projects while the solution is unfolded, the namespace and other parameters are not getting updated. Ex: $safeprojectname$ will be updated by the namespace you select for your solution. On the other hand, if I am creating projects using recipe later on, my namespace parameter are not getting updated.

Please help.
