SolutionFolder	Optional element. Groups projects in multi-project templates.

Remarks

Multi-project templates act as containers for two or more projects. The ProjectCollection element is used to specify the projects to contain in the template. For more information on multi-project templates, see How to: Create multi-project templates.

Example

This example shows a simple multi-project root .vstemplate file. In this example, the template contains two projects, My Windows Application and My Class Library. The ProjectName attribute on the ProjectTemplateLink element sets the name for Visual Studio to assign this project. If the ProjectName attribute does not exist, the name of the .vstemplate file is used as the project name.
