Function AddFromTemplate ( _
    FileName As String, _
    Destination As String, _
    ProjectName As String, _
    Exclusive As Boolean _
) As Project

    bool Exclusive
)

Project^ AddFromTemplate(
    [InAttribute] String^ FileName, 
    [InAttribute] String^ Destination, 
    [InAttribute] String^ ProjectName, 
    [InAttribute] bool Exclusive
)

abstract AddFromTemplate : 
        FileName:string * 
        Destination:string * 
        ProjectName:string * 
        Exclusive:bool -> Project

function AddFromTemplate(
    FileName : String, 
    Destination : String, 
    ProjectName : String, 
    Exclusive : boolean
) : Project

Parameters

  • FileName
    Type: System.String

    Required. The full path and file name with extension of the template project file.

  • Destination
    Type: System.String

    Required. The full path of the directory in which to copy the contents of FileName.

  • ProjectName
    Type: System.String

    Required. The name of the project file in the destination directory. This should include the extension. The displayed name is derived from ProjectName.

  • Exclusive
    Type: System.Boolean

    Optional. Indicates whether the project loads in the current solution or its own; true if the current solution is closed and the project is added to a new solution, false if the project is added to the existing, open solution.

Return Value

Type: EnvDTE.Project
A Project object.

Remarks

The name of the project displayed in Solution Explorer is ProjectName without the file extension. AddFromTemplate fails if the new project file name already exists in the destination.

Note

For Visual Basic and Visual C# projects: The returned Project object has a value of Nothing or nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). You can find the created Project object by iterating through the DTE.Solution.Projects collection by using the ProjectName parameter to identify the newly created project.
