I wrote an item template with a number of custom parameters. It works well
but it would be really nice if the user could be prompted for the custom
parameters when using the template. At the moment I have to update the
template file when I need to change the custom parameters. Is it possible
for the user to update the template interactively? Please advise. Thanks
for your help on this.

Paul,

If I understand correctly, you want a wizard to appear when the user selects
the custom template from the Add New Item dialog?

This functionality requires the Visual Studio SDK. You would create a
Visual Studio Integration Package project.

Hope this helps,

Steve
