Add solution folder to visual studio project template

Question

Is it possible to add a solution folders with the project template? If it\'s not built in functionality, is it possible to create a custom task for this?

Answer 1

I'm using the following snippets in my Project Template Wizard (see Mike Chaliy's answer):

        private static SolutionFolder GetSolutionFolder(Solution2 solution) {
        var project = GetSolutionFolderProject(solution);
        return (SolutionFolder) project.Object;
    }

    private static Project GetSolutionFolderProject(Solution2 solution) {
        var project =
            solution.Projects.Cast().FirstOrDefault(p => p.Name == "Solution Items");
        if (project == null) project = solution.AddSolutionFolder("Solution Items");
        return project;
    }

where_solution = (Solution2) _dte.Solution;
