$ProjectName$ passed into a template creator is not expanded

We have a template that creates a solution (CreateSolution) containing a project. The project has a template that gets expanded.

The solution prompts the user for the name of the project (ProjectName) and the name space.

How do we get the ProjectName passed down into the project template? When we try to access $ProjectName$ is does not get expanded.

Hi Nigel,

If GAT is not involved I would suggest you to post your question to the VS extensibility forum where you may already find some posts on common issues unfolding templates.

thanks,
