Hi there,

just downloaded csla 2.0.3 and i notice a great directory \csla20cs\csla20cs\Templates  .. but how do i install them...

i tried opening up the sln file and saying export as template in vs2005...i choose item template.... is this correct... nothing seems to happen...

maybe i am doing something wrong.... got the snippets working though...

but would love to get the templates working too... to save a bit of typing :-)

I hope someone can help

thanks in advance

ian

My C# templates go here...

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC#\CSharpProjectItems

You might want to put them in  a subdirectory, otherwise they get all jumbled in with the other built-in templates.  That, or rename them so they all appear together in the list...

I think you can put them in My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Templates\ItemTemplates\Visual C#, that why they aren't mixed with the system ones.

I just plopped them into the directory above and it worked.

I exported each item seperately (can't select more than one) through the export wizard and that creates the .zip file that needs to be copied to the Item Templates directory.
