I have been charged with creating customized visual studio project
templates for our organization. I have been successful to a point. I
would like to add folders to the project template and I have not been
able to do so. For example, I would like the directory structure to

I cant believe that something so fundamental to VSIP as a service is so
difficult to use. Has anyone successfully created, proffered and consumed a
service? Are there any examples that anyone can share?
More specifically, I'm trying to consume the service in a custom

I'm trying to translate a few macros for VC++ 6.0 to VS.Net 2003 and so far
it has worked pretty well. The CodeDOM model is a very neat idea indeed.

I'm looking for a good newsgroup or web forum where I can ask programming

know.  I'll welcome any other redirections or suggestions.

I wrote a VSIP package and it's working fine on my machine where I have the
VSIP SDK (7.1Exp) and a PLK
Now I want to create a setup to install this package on a "client" machine

In order to register a PLK for a VSPackage, one needs to add a special entry
in a VSPackage resource string table. This can be easly done by VS.NET,

the resource and then add the entry to the string table.

I'm looking at developing a custom debug engine for working with our

Sorry for the simple question, but I am lost!

I'm writing a VSIP package that needs to display custom task list

MSDN), but I can't get it work :(

I've created and proffered a service successfully (at least I think so, no
errors were generated when it was added) but im unable to retrieve the
service later on.
I have an assembly which defines the interface the service uses.
