Visual Studio Project template Authoring (iii)

In the previous section, we have created the template and then put it in the appropriate templates directory to use it in Visual Studio.

In this article, we install the template in a way that installs the VSIX extension, which requires the installation of the visual Studio SDK

After installing the SDK, you can see the VSIX project in the new project

Select VSIX Project and set the name, click OK, and the project is new.
