C# equivalent of the C++ custom project Wizard

Hi.,

I have an existing wizard template created for VC++ from year back, ported to VS2008. It uses the custom wizard jscript/html templating system and DTE object. I've used this successfully for years, but now I want to create an entry for a standard C# project, I see there's no way to customise the C# project settings - the methods are for VC++ only.

Is there something closely related to this for C# projects (or do I have to learn yet another way of creating a wizard for .net apps?)

+1 A:

I think they call this stuff recipes now. You may want to go in the direction the Smart Client Software Factory goes. It works via the Guidance Automation Toolkit.

I'm sorry I can't provide any further info, have never worked with it. Hope I could help you though.

cheers. Looks like there's a whole heap of crud available now - recipes, templates, wizards and my favourite "Text Template Transformation Templates"... and a new framework to install. I may craft the project files 'by hand' instead.

... or use t4, or codesmith, or I don't know what. Seriously, take a quick peek at t4.

And it turns out to be "Project Templates" (for non-VC++ projects)
