Description

TemplateData

Categorizes the template and defines how it displays in either the New Project or the Add New Item dialog box.

Text Value

A text value is required.

This value specifies the type of project the template will create, and must contain one of the following values:

  • CSharp: Specifies that the template creates a Visual C# project or item.

  • VisualBasic: Specifies that the template creates a Visual Basic project or item.

  • Web: Specifies that the template creates a Web project or item. If the ProjectType element contains this value, the language of the project or item is defined in the ProjectSubType Element (Visual Studio Templates).

Remarks

ProjectType is a required child element of TemplateData.

The value of the ProjectType element specifies where the template is located in the New Project or Add New Item dialog box. For example, a template with a ProjectType value of CSharp appears under the Visual C# node in the New Project dialog box.

A template subtype can be specified by using the ProjectSubType element.

Example

The following example shows the metadata for a project template for a Visual C# application.
