I'm try to learn the VSProjectSystem SDK to create my own Visual Studio project types. I want a project which works just like a solution folder in that it contains sub-projects of any type (C++, C#, etc), along with some common code and build scripts. I got the idea from the new setup which Visual Studio is using for multi-platform projects. In that setup, a multiplatform app will generate a shared project, a desktop project, and a mobile project, all in a solution folder. I really like this design, but would like to formalize the solution folder into an actual project with its own properties which get shared across all subprojects (I think of them as build targets). There has to be a way to do this, but I cannot find any VS project system tutorials or documentation about nesting projects. I'm hoping that I can get some help here.
Thanks so much. =)
