Declaring and Enabling Template Parameters
Template parameters are declared in the format $parameter$. For example:
$safeprojectname$
$safeclassname$
$guid1$
$guid5$
To enable parameter substitution in templates
In the .vstemplate file of the template, locate the ProjectItem element that corresponds to the item that you want to enable parameter replacement for.
Set the ReplaceParameters attribute of the ProjectItem element to true.
In the code file for the project item, include parameters in code where appropriate. For example, the following parameter specifies that the safe project name be used for the namespace in a file:
namespace $safeprojectname$

Custom Template Parameters
In addition to the reserved template parameters that are automatically used during parameter replacement, you can specify your own template parameters and values. For more information, see How to: Pass Custom Parameters to Templates.
Example: Replacing Files Names
You can specify variable file names for project items using a parameter with the TargetFileName attribute. For example, you could specify that the .exe file use the project name, specified by $projectname$, as the file name.
<TemplateContent> <ProjectItem ReplaceParameters="true" TargetFileName="$projectname$.exe"> File1.exe </ProjectItem> ...</TemplateContent>
Example: Using the Project Name for the Namespace Name
To use the project name for the namespace in a Visual C# class file, Class1.cs, use the following syntax:
#region Using directivesusing System;using System.Collections.Generic;using System.Text;#endregionnamespace $safeprojectname${ public class Class1 { public Class1() { } }}
In the .vstemplate file for the project template, include the following XML when referencing the file Class1.cs:
<TemplateContent> <ProjectItem ReplaceParameters="true"> Class1.cs </ProjectItem> ...</TemplateContent>
