Hello,
I'd like to set the custom tool and the build action of a project item through a project item template. I saw on a post titled "Is it possible to associate a custom tool with a file extension" posted on 4. July, but could not make it work (with both VS 2005 Beta 2 and RC1)
After exporting a template through VS2005 and modifying it according to the mentioned post, I get:
<VSTemplate Version="2.0.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/vstemplate/2005" Type="Item">
<TemplateData>
<DefaultName>SqlBuilder.dbm</DefaultName>
<Name>SqlBuilder</Name>
<Description>Meta-data information for the SQL Builder Generator</Description>
<ProjectType>CSharp</ProjectType>
<SortOrder>10</SortOrder>
<Icon>__TemplateIcon.ico</Icon>
</TemplateData>
<TemplateContent>
<References />
<ProjectItem SubType="" TargetFileName="$fileinputname$.dbm" ReplaceParameters="true">XMLFile1.dbm</ProjectItem>
<CustomParameters>
<CustomParameter Name="$CustomTool$" Value="SqlBuilderGenerator" />
</CustomParameters>
</TemplateContent>
</VSTemplate>
The CustomParameters section is supposed to set the custom tool, but it has no effect. What am I doing wrong and how can I set the build action ?
