Hello,
have create a multiproject template as explained at the article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/06/01/CodeTemplates/

It is working and creating all the projects I've added, but when it creates
the solution first it creates the main folder solution, adds the .sln file
there and then it creates a new folder into it with the same name for
storing
all the projects. I want the project folders to be created into the same
folder than the .sln file. Is it possible? In fact, when you add a project
manually to the solution that is the way vs.net behaves, so, why the
multiproject template creates an additional folder?

Thank you.
My multiproject template is:
<VSTemplate Version="2.0.0" Type="ProjectGroup"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/vstemplate/2005">
 <TemplateData>
   <Name>CAQ Module Template</Name>
   <Description>This template contains all the projects for creating a
module.</Description>
   <ProjectType>CSharp</ProjectType>
   <Icon>__TemplateIcon.ico</Icon>
   <DefaultName>Module</DefaultName>
   <ProvideDefaultName>true</ProvideDefaultName>
   <LocationField>Enabled</LocationField>
   <EnableLocationBrowseButton>true</EnableLocationBrowseButton>
 </TemplateData>
 <TemplateContent>
   <ProjectCollection>
     <ProjectTemplateLink>
       .\Datasets\Datasets.vstemplate
     </ProjectTemplateLink>
     <ProjectTemplateLink>
       .\Interfaces\Interfaces.vstemplate
     </ProjectTemplateLink>
     <ProjectTemplateLink>
       .\DataLayer\DataLayer.vstemplate
     </ProjectTemplateLink>
     <ProjectTemplateLink>
       .\Rules\Rules.vstemplate
     </ProjectTemplateLink>
     <ProjectTemplateLink>
       .\WinUI\WinUI.vstemplate
     </ProjectTemplateLink>
   </ProjectCollection>
 </TemplateContent>
 <WizardExtension>
   <Assembly>Babtec.CaqNet.WinForms.UILibrary.Design, Version=6.0.0.2,
Culture=Neutral, PublicKeyToken=e20876ffd03a21a4</Assembly>

<FullClassName>Babtec.CaqNet.WinForms.UILibrary.Design.ModuleCreationWizard</FullClassName>
 </WizardExtension>
</VSTemplate>

Just as that MSDN article mentioned, the folder structure of the
solution/projects depends on the folder structure of the items in its
corresponding template ZIP file. I suggest you need to customize the folder
structure of your template zip file as you need. By the way, the links of
the relative paths to the project template files should be based on the
folder structure in the ZIP file.

It appears not in my side, when I add a new/existing project to the current
solution, its project folder will be created under my VS2005's project
folder(..\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects) by default, there is no
direct relation with the current solution's folder.

Thanks!

Best regards,
