I have created a Custom C# Project Template for Visual Studio 2008. It works

  • 0

I have created a Custom C# Project Template for Visual Studio 2008. It works perfect. Only issue is that i have to place the zip file for the project template under the “C:\Documents and Settings\\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Templates\ItemTemplates\Visual C#”

Now as this folder is specific to each user on the machine, I will have to make sure that all the users on the machine has the project template installed seperately. Is there any way I can just install it once and all the users can get this project template.

In short can I change the Custom Project template Install directory?

    Put your template in a shared network location.

    Then In Tools/Options/Projects and Solutions/General/User project templates location, each developer should put the path to that folder, e.g. Z:/Visual Studio Templates/.

    If you don’t have a shared server you can use something like Dropbox to achieve the same effect.
