COM Signature

From vsshell.idl:

HRESULT IVsProjectFactory::CreateProject(  
   [in] LPCOLESTR pszFilename,  
   [in] LPCOLESTR pszLocation,  
   [in] LPCOLESTR pszName,  
   [in] VSCREATEPROJFLAGS grfCreateFlags,

CreateProject is called by the shell when a user tries to create a new project.

Create a new project by cloning an existing template project (which could be empty). The environment uses the file extension to determine the VSPackage on which to call this method.
