I want to create a VS2010 c# solution template generator and I’m looking for free/open tools to achieve this.
An example of what I’m trying to do is a winform application takes project name, namespace and database connectionstring and produce a c# customized solution with my custom classes, namespace and references.
I found those:
Is this the right way to do this? Do you know better tools?
You need to look at project templates. Normally you only get prompted for a project name (used as the solution name as well if creating a solution at the same time).
However the project template system can run code (as seen with C++ and ASP.NET MVC Projects).
There is a lot of information in the VS SDK, but you might find examining project templates that launch wizards useful to isolate the useful bits of documentation.
