Visual Studio 2010 and WPF: Creating a special template

Question

Hi! :-)

Is it possible to do the following in VS 2010:

• Create a new template (or something similar) so I get a XAML - view and a view model, completely with the INotifyPropertyChanged implementation and a view model invoker, all in one?

• Create a project template that gives me a view and a full view model in App.OnStartup(...) instead of this less - than - optimal "set a startup view in App.xaml"?

I use MVVM light for my Silverlight, WPF and Windows Phone 7 applications. The MVVM light is a very lightweight framework to do MVVM but gives you a nice set of features, including Templates to start the projects. You can find more info on this on: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3456591/silverlight-4-f5-refresh/3457817#3457817

And at stackoverflow there is a special tag "MVVM-light" for questions about this framework.
