Does the Guidance Atomation Toolkit support the new project type "Web application Project" that should be an alternative to the WebSite project type?

I mean, it doesn't in the sense that you cannot use the friendly names in <CommandBar Name=

No, it doesn't.
However, provided you know the GUIDs and IDs of the command bars exposed by this new project system, you can attach recipes and templates to them easily by specifying that information in the <CommandBar> element.

We are having a problem trying to unfold a new .vstemplate project item into a web application project.

When unfolding into a library project the Add new item wizard correctly shows my registered GAT package andmy item type is pre-selected.

When unfolding intoa web application project, the wizard does NOT show my package, just the standardVS project items.

I do not know whether this is a problem with the GAT failing the register with the Web Application Project, or the Web Application not honouring the registration.

Any helpgreatly appreciated.

GAX registers itself with a filtering capability for the Add New dialogs. Most probably, the new web project feature is exposing new extension points for filtering its own dialog, that GAX is not registering with as the web projects didn't exist at all when GAX was developed ;-)

So, I'd suggest that you directly unfold the template from a custom action, and launch this process from a standard recipe. The code would be something like:

project.ProjectItems.AddFromTemplate(.... )

You can calculate the desired template full path by using the IConfigurationService.BasePath, which is the installation folder for the guidance package.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks for the answer.

Isee what you mean. Unfortunaltely I'm currently assigned to a 'critical' project, and won't be able to try it right away.

I'll keep you posted as soon as I (or someone else) did.
