Hi i am creating a vsix extension according to this tutorial. Somewhere I need to put a code if the variable value was True and another one if it was False

In this example, Microsoft used this $if$ command

I have created a custom template for VS2019 that contains two projects. Below is my root.vstemplate file

I have a Visual Studio Enterprise 2017 with version 15.9.7 and .Net core 2.2 and .Net SDK 2.2.1. I was trying to create a blazor web application following this link. In the article, it shows a template of type Blazor. But I do not get the same template in my visual studio.

On further investigation, I found this link but the prerequisites include Visual Studio 2019 Preview and SDK 3.0 preview. I do not want to jump to them immediately when the versions are still in preview.

So is there no way to get the template in my current configuration? Are there any kind of work around for this?

This is the exact same question but the solution marked does not work in my case.

EDIT 1: I tried installing blazor extension, but it says this extension is not installable on any currently installed products(in my case it is VS 2017).

EDIT 2 : I tried to create the project using CLI, but ended with the error

error NU1202: Package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Blazor.Cli 0.9.0-preview3-19154-02 is not compatible with netcoreapp2.2 (.NETCoreApp,Version=v2.2). Package Microsoft.AspNetCore.Blazor.Cli 0.9.0-preview3-19154-02 supports: netcoreapp3.0 (.NETCoreApp,Version=v3.0)

I want to develop a Mac app using Xamarin. However, when I open the New Project wizard, the Mac templates are nowhere to be found.

I saw "Missing Project Templates for Mac Apps" on the Xamarin forum, but I could not find much else about this topic online, although the answer in that thread did clear up that I don't have the SDK, but (thankfully) my Xcode path is valid.

How can I install Xamarin.Mac (or any other Xamarin SDK) for an existing installation of Visual Studio for Mac?

I'm looking for help on making a multi project template (i.e. a deploy-able solution that contains multiple projects) with a custom wizard (to enable custom parameters to be entered).

I've followed "How to: Create Multi-Project Templates" to make the multi project template. This is working.

I've followed "How to: Use Wizards with Project Templates" to make my wizard in my VSIX files. This is working.

However, I can't get them to work together. I can either deploy my multi project template without a wizard OR I can get all of my individual project templates to show in the project gallery, via my VSIX file, with a working custom wizard.

Any ideas on how to combine the two methods?

In VS2017 I've made a C# Project Template project, that uses forms and the IWizard interface to pop up a dialog as soon as the user types a project name and hits OK. The form gathers info from the user and then sets up the new project accordingly.

I haven't really detoured from the guide mentioned in the next line, except it doesn't cover what I'd like to do.

Note to future readers: This How To Use Wizards With Project Templates guide is the only version of the page I have found that points out the need for the System and System.Drawing references. And even then it says "assemblies" when it means "references". Other duplicates of the same page have a strangely blank space at the crucial moment.

So inside IWizard's RunStarted() function, I create custom template parameters that look $like$ $this$, add them to the replacementsDictionary, and assign values to them that I retrieved from my whiz-bang pop up dialog. The wizard will then substitute appearances of those custom parameters that it finds in files of the new project (I wrote those appearances earlier), with the values I assigned to them. There are also built-in template parameters that I can use in the same way.

What I can do (source files == .cpp, project file == .vcxproj):

• Use built-in template parameters to substitute values into my template's source files and project file.
• Define custom template parameters inside the .vstemplate file that substitute values into my template's source files and project files.
• Define custom template parameters inside IWizard's RunStarted() function that substitute values only into my template's source files.

What I can't do:

• Define custom template parameters within IWizard's RunStarted() function that substitute values into my template's project file.

From what I understand, the first moment I can turn user-defined values into custom parameter values is via the RunStarted() function. This is the crux of the problem, as this is apparently too late to sub anything new into the project file. In the end product project file, all built-in template parameters get substituted as expected. All my custom template parameters that I defined in advance in the .vstemplate file are also subbed as expected. But the custom template parameters that I need to set up in RunStarted()... they still all look $like$ $this$.

In other words, if I write this inside RunStarted():

replacementsDictionary.Add("$custommessage$", "Custard");

then my source files will now have occurrences of Custard, but the project file will still only have $custommessage$.

This is forcing an XML-writing work around that is bringing its own problems, so I have come back to this. How can I get user-defined custom template parameter values into the project file?

For the possibility that there is a better approach that I'm thinking about I would like to explain my requirement first (the question starts after the divider line).

Given I have the following GitLab group structure:

I created a project template as described here: vs create template When I created a new project using the template, source files haven't added to project.

I am using visual studio 2017 community edition. Actually source files (.h and .cpp) are visible in the solution explorer but they are not included in the project folder. So when I try to open them, ide gives me this message: "The document cannot be opened. It has been renamed, deleted or moved."

Is this a bug ? How can I fix it ?

I'm using alertify plugin in typescript and it can't recognize the getData function. Please see below code
