I have taken a macro that i use and created a vs.net add in. I am having a
problem adding new files or items to the project. It worked fine in the
macro but i am not sure how to do this in the vs.net add-in.

In the macro i was able to do the following
DTE.ItemOperations.AddNewItem("Web Developer Project Files\Visual Basic\Text
File", "sp" & tname & ".txt")

My addin seems to error out on this line. I have tried a number of
variations but still without success.

Help please. thanks
dave

Hi Dave,

Which is the exact error that you are getting? Seeing your code, the only
thing that I see is the DTE root variable, which exists in macros but not in
add-ins. The OnConnection method receives an Application As Object parameter
that you must cast to a variable of the EnvDTE.DTE type and use it instead
of "DTE".
