When I create a new project of the predefined templates, say a new windows form application – it starts out showing me the designer view of Form1.
What I want to do is something similar with the custom template. (Actually, I want the code-view.) Currently, nothing is shown automatically.
I created the project with “Export template”.
open your template zip file and in file *.vstemplate add attribute OpenInEditor=”true” to code files you would like to open on project creation (ProjectItem). i tried to open code for Form and i failed, but it works pretty well for simple code files.
