Visual Studio 2015的项目模板

Question

I am trying to create a project template for Visual Studio 2015. I created a ASP.NET 5 class library (under the web section of Visual studio 2015) and used the option File->Export template. When I tried to create project using the exported template, only the .xproj file gets created. The files within the template and the dependencies are not getting added. But the same procedure works fine for normal class library project. Am I missing something.?

Answer 1

I found the way to do this. Open up the zipfile and edit the .vstemplate file. The line that is missing is

<CreateInPlace>true</CreateInPlace>

This line goes between

<TemplateData></TemplateData>

This solves the problem for .NET Core 1.0.1 Tooling Preview 2, VS2015 Update 3.

Answer 2

In order to solve this, I had to extract the output zipfile, and edit the .vstemplate file.

Removing the TargetFileName attribute from the <Project> element under <TemplateContent> worked, and the new .xproj file was correctly named.

The relevant part of the .vstemplate file looked like this:

<TemplateContent>
  <Project TargetFileName="MyProject.xproj" File="MyProject.xproj" ReplaceParameters="true">

And I changed it to:

<TemplateContent>
  <Project File="MyProject.xproj" ReplaceParameters="true">

The inspiration for this came from looking at the ASP.NET 5 project templates , and specifically the empty web's .vstemplate file .
