Can anyone provide some guidance on how to add a Solution Item to a Visual Studio 2005 Multi-Project Template?
The scenario is that in my template, I have several projects that referrence the same custom assemblies. I'd like to include a single file-instance of these assemblies in a separate folder, that has a reciprocal solution folder in the expanded template. This is to ensure that each referencing project uses the same file-instance of the assembly, and it simplifies the updating of the assemblies in-question when new version are released.
I can easily create the Solution Floder in my tempalte using the <SolutionFolder> element, however it appears that the .vstemplate schema only supports the <ProjectLink> tag as a child element.
How can I include individual Solution Items in my template?
I'm also open to alternative approaches to including sinel file-instances of assemblies that are referenced by multiple projects in my template.
TIA
