Remarks

Multi-project templates act as containers for two or more projects. The ProjectTemplateLink element is used to specify the location of the .vstemplate file for one of the projects in the template. The .vstemplate file of a multi-project template contains one ProjectTemplateLink element for each project 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.
