Adding Templates

Project Item Templates and Extension Templates

Project Item Templates and some of the Extension Templates can be added by use of wizard-like tools, such as the Selection of Entities in BO-Layer projects, or the ASP.NET Project Wizard. These tools add Project Item Templates plus other templates that depend on them. These tools will also configure the templates, using information from the existing project environment.

Alternatively, Project Item Templates and Extension Templates can be added manually from the Project Explorer. When you right-click appropriate nodes in the tree, context menu options to add appropriate templates are displayed.

Templates in project item's hierarchies

Project Item Templates have their own hierarchies of dependent templates, which shape their functionality. For example, in ASP.NET projects the Page Templates contain Control Templates, which in their turn can contain Action Templates.

All templates that are dependent on project items can generally be added from the template tree in the Template Options Page of the project item. When you right-click appropriate nodes in the template tree, context menu options to add appropriate templates are displayed.

Control Templates can also be added in the WebForm Designer, by dragging them from the Control Toolbox.
