Sorry, this entry is only available in Deutsch.

templatesThe custom item templates in Visual Studio can spare a lot of time, especially if you know how to create them. Some time ago, I wanted to create some templates on my own to automatically insert my copyright text and some notes about filename, imports and date of creation inside my class files. At first I thought this could be done with some clicks in one of the many properties that has Visual Studio 2008 on board. But then I experienced that it is not that simple.

A question at the ASP.NET Forum and some googles later I found a very nice Video Tutorial from a Microsoft Employee who explained very nice how to create custom item templates with VS2008. I hope it is some help for you out there.

Additionally here is a List of Parameters which can be used inside of custom templates : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/eehb4faa.aspx
