Issue with visual studio template & directory creation -

i'm trying make visual studio (2010) template (multi-project). seems good, except projects being created in sub-directory of solution. not behavior i'm looking for.

the zip file contains:

folder1 +-- project1     +-- project1.vstemplate +-- project2     +-- project2.vstemplate myapplication.vstemplate 

here's root template:

<vstemplate version="3.0.0" type="projectgroup" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/vstemplate/2005">     <templatedata>         <name>my application</name>         <description></description>         <icon>icon.ico</icon>         <projecttype>csharp</projecttype>   <requiredframeworkversion>4.0</requiredframeworkversion>   <defaultname>myapplication</defaultname>   <createnewfolder>false</createnewfolder>     </templatedata>     <templatecontent>         <projectcollection>    <solutionfolder name="folder1">     <projecttemplatelink projectname="$safeprojectname$.project1">folder1\project1\project1.vstemplate</projecttemplatelink>     <projecttemplatelink projectname="$safeprojectname$.project2">folder2\project2\project2.vstemplate</projecttemplatelink>    </solutionfolder>         </projectcollection>     </templatecontent> </vstemplate> 

and, when creating solution using template, end directories this:

projects +-- myapplication1     +-- myapplication1 // i'd have not directory         +-- folder1             +-- project1             +-- project2     solution file 

any help?

edit:

it seems modifying <createnewfolder>false</createnewfolder>, either true or false, doesn't change anything.

to create solution @ root level (not nest them in subfolder) must create 2 templates: 1) projectgroup stub template wizard inside create new project @ end 2) project template

use following approach that

1. add template this

  <vstemplate version="2.0.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/vstemplate/2005" type="projectgroup">     <templatedata>       <name>x application</name>       <description>x shell.</description>       <projecttype>csharp</projecttype>       <icon>__templateicon.ico</icon>     </templatedata>     <templatecontent>     </templatecontent>     <wizardextension>     <assembly>xwizard, version=1.0.0.0, culture=neutral</assembly>     <fullclassname>xwizard.fixrootfolderwizard</fullclassname>     </wizardextension>     </vstemplate> 

2. add code wizard

// creates new project @ root level instead of subfolder. public class fixrootfolderwizard : iwizard {     #region fields      private string defaultdestinationfolder_;     private string templatepath_;     private string desirednamespace_;      #endregion      #region public methods     ...     public void runfinished()     {         addxproject(             defaultdestinationfolder_,             templatepath_,             desirednamespace_);     }      public void runstarted(object automationobject,         dictionary<string, string> replacementsdictionary,         wizardrunkind runkind, object[] customparams)     {         defaultdestinationfolder_ = replacementsdictionary["$destinationdirectory$"];         templatepath_ =              path.combine(                 path.getdirectoryname((string)customparams[0]),                 @"template\xsubprojecttemplatewizard.vstemplate");           desirednamespace_ = replacementsdictionary["$safeprojectname$"];           string error;          if (!validatenamespace(desirednamespace_, out error))          {              controller_.showerror("entered namespace invalid: {0}", error);              controller_.cancelwizard();          }      }       public bool shouldaddprojectitem(string filepath)      {          return true;      }       #endregion  }   public void addxproject(      string defaultdestinationfolder,      string templatepath,      string desirednamespace)  {      var dte2 = (dte) system.runtime.interopservices.marshal.getactiveobject("visualstudio.dte.10.0");      var solution = (envdte100.solution4) dte2.solution;       string destinationpath =          path.combine(              path.getdirectoryname(defaultdestinationfolder),              "x");       solution.addfromtemplate(          templatepath,          destinationpath,          desirednamespace,          false);      directory.delete(defaultdestinationfolder); }
