  • Mark the files you want to be opened after a template was scaffolded and is being opened

you can also execute this program from the command line for the purpose of build automation.

build configuration [configurationId] is the command for that.

When you first run it and select a solution you most likely will have to save, go back to the list, and then select the solutiion again. NOTE: this has been intentionally limited to pretty standard multi-project solutions. If you have an unusual solution structure please go back to the original version of this code (where I forked from).

1. Clean your bin and obj folders for the solution you want to turn into a template
2. You can use the attached as a reference on how to get started
3. This is not a perfect solution but you can always tweak it to suit your needs
