Visual Studio 2012 multiple project template with inter-dependencies -


i'm in process of creating mvc starterkit work , i'm having problems creating multi-project template doesn't require massive manual modification after creation.

what have 4 projects have dependencies on each other:

  • starterkit.common - no dependency
  • starterkit.dal - dependency starterkit.common
  • starterkit.bl - dependency starterkit.common , starterkit.dal starterkit.web - dependency other three

i've tried going route of exporting each project using export template wizard, creating root .vstemplate file , zipping up. although works (i can create new solution based on template), has serious problems.

firstly, export replaces entire namespace of each project $safeprojectname$, i.e. starterkit.dal => $safeprojectname$, starterkit.web => $safeprojectname$ etc.

this means when new project created (let's call xxx), in namespace starterkit.web ends in xxx namespace , starterkit.bl also ends in xxx namespace!

this not going work.

secondly, using statements not replaced @ all. example using starterkit.common; not replaced in web project because doesn't have correct namespace (which starterkit.web).

thirdly, have .tt scripts contains using statements want replace, though set replaceparameters="true" in project, these not touched @ all.

i looked creating vsix project, frankly don't see how can use that. me looks zip utility creates .vstemplate , renames .zip .vsix me.

what need is:

  • package projects in single deploy file available "new project" template in vs
  • when newproject created, replace "starterkit" namespace references in .csproj, .cs, .cshtml , .tt files whatever user selected solution name
  • figure out simple process can update templates whenever base projects change (files added/removed, renamed, content changed etc)

does have idea if possible?

full disclosure: creator of below mentioned project.

you can achieve desired result using iwizard implementation created called globalparams. makes information solution template level available child templates run wizard prefixing all solution level parameters word global , adding them parameters of child template.

if used globalparams above multi-project template , user entered "starterkit", following true:

  • starterkit.common access
    • $safeprojectname$ = starterkit.common
    • $globalsafeprojectname$ = starterkit
    • $globalguid1$ = e8c8a064601844439909d6c33ab90cb3
    • $globalguid2$ = 020db5abf76040c7bda19eac54dfe3d8
    • $globalguid3$ = 8392fb760f754c0ab87778845cc28b6d
    • $globalguid4$ = 13e07d43f523467587296b2c386dee50
  • starterkit.dal
    • $safeprojectname$ = starterkit.dal
    • $globalsafeprojectname$ = starterkit
    • $globalguid1$ = e8c8a064601844439909d6c33ab90cb3
    • $globalguid2$ = 020db5abf76040c7bda19eac54dfe3d8
    • $globalguid3$ = 8392fb760f754c0ab87778845cc28b6d
    • $globalguid4$ = 13e07d43f523467587296b2c386dee50
  • starterkit.bl
    • $safeprojectname$ = starterkit.bl
    • $globalsafeprojectname$ = starterkit
    • $globalguid1$ = e8c8a064601844439909d6c33ab90cb3
    • $globalguid2$ = 020db5abf76040c7bda19eac54dfe3d8
    • $globalguid3$ = 8392fb760f754c0ab87778845cc28b6d
    • $globalguid4$ = 13e07d43f523467587296b2c386dee50
  • starterkit.web
    • $safeprojectname$ = starterkit.web
    • $globalsafeprojectname$ = starterkit
    • $globalguid1$ = e8c8a064601844439909d6c33ab90cb3
    • $globalguid2$ = 020db5abf76040c7bda19eac54dfe3d8
    • $globalguid3$ = 8392fb760f754c0ab87778845cc28b6d
    • $globalguid4$ = 13e07d43f523467587296b2c386dee50

with globalparams have access 100 guids global prefix same across child templates. starterkit.common project can given value of "$globalguid1$" project id starterkit.dal , starterkit.bl building project references starterkit.common using "$globalsafeprojectname$.common" name of project being referenced , "$globalguid1$" id of project being referenced. think can see how work building references between rest of projects.
