asp.net - Project template for Visual Studio 2015

Question

I am trying to create a project template for Visual Studio 2015. I created a ASP.NET 5 class library (under the web section of Visual studio 2015) and used the option File->Export template. When I tried to create project using the exported template, only the .xproj file gets created. The files within the template and the dependencies are not getting added. But the same procedure works fine for normal class library project. Am I missing something.?

Answer 1

I found the way to do this. Open up the zipfile and edit the .vstemplate file. The line that is missing is

<CreateInPlace>true</CreateInPlace>

This line goes between

<TemplateData></TemplateData>

This solves the problem for .NET Core 1.0.1 Tooling Preview 2, VS2015 Update 3.
