Visual Studio Copy Project

by

Just create a template;

From your project choose: Project – Export Template

The wizard will let you define

  • Template name
  • Template Description
  • Icon
  • Preview image

Then it zips up your project into ‘My Exported Templates’ directory.
You also have the option to make your template available when you create a new project.

When you use your template to create a new project, the namespace will be correct for ‘your_new_project_name’ throughout every file, all references correct, everything perfecto 🙂

You can send the .zip file to anybody, and they must copy (not unzip) the .zip file into Templates\ProjectTemplates directory for them to use too.

I made an ASP.NET MVC template with folders, layout page, viewmodels etc arranged just how I like them.

NOTE:
If you have an empty folder in your project, it WON’T be added to the template, so I just added an empty class appropriate to each folder, and a sample picture for images folder.
