Hi There,

I am in the process of creating custom project types for ther commonly
used assemblies that I create.

What I'd like to be able to do it to automatically add a *linked* file
(AssemblyInfo.cs) to each of my new Class Library objects.

I can add a templated version easily enough (in C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET
2003\VC#\VC#Wizards\CustomClass_1\Templates\1033\Templates.inf), but I
cannot find how to add a linked file on project creation. Can anyone
help with this, please?

Thanks
Marc.

What's the meaning of the *linked* here, compliles or referenced one?

By the way, do you have tried the AddFromFile Method?

Thanks!

OK, I figured out a solution to most of my problems.

I had not previously realised that you could specify a template file
to create a new project from. I created the project, and added the
links (Add exiting item > open as link) and opened the project file in
Notepad. I then copied the bits I needed (linked files, settings and
references, etc.) into a copy of the default project.csproj file, and
away I go.

I shall be blogging the steps later, so I can post the link if anyone
is interested?

Marc.
