---- I've paste items here, these are from samplelibrary example in GP dev solution with my minor changes

Should this work
Unbound project template, r-click on soultion folder and chose myproject
Get Project setup UI
Enter project name: MyTrans
//I want to use as a root name for other things so I want to add "service" to this before is gets created

Enter location: ... all our projects live in real folders matching solutionfolders

Wizard UI pops up
I display a ProjectNameService made with evaluator from projectname and "service"
I have them enter the solution folder name (not full path) say "TransMgt"
I show Builtup TargetNamespace monitors foldername
so this shows Company.Product.TransMgt.MyTransService

The * csproj file gets the project name they typed and not my ammended name
The default namespace inside csproj is Company.Product.T.MyTransService missing rest of TransMgt word
The Assembly name gets the project name they typed and not my ammended name
We have a standard of naming DLLs off Namespace...ProjectnameService

the class files gets the right name
I use projectname and different suffix MyTransSvc

Inside Class
Namespace is wrong ... see above
Interface is ok as it get projectname & suffix
