Im trying to create a project template that I can reuse for multiple projects. I've tried exporting the template and making it a vsix.

It doesn't matter what I do, whenever I use that template, it does not load any files, references etc.

Is there any documentation or does anyone know how to make a template for ASP.core?

EDIT: I followed the instructions in the first link you gave me, but it still doesn't work. I don't get all the files I made in my template. Any solutions?

My project

  • the current tooling is temporary, .xproj and project.json will be going away and ideas from it will be incorporated in .csproj project system. I would wait until then to try to make templates – Joe Audette Sep 30 '16 at 12:58

Something like this? I just entered "ASP.core vsix template" in Google...

There are also ASP.NET Core Template Packs: https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/31a3eab5-e62b-4030-9226-b5e4c9e1ffb5 http://vsixgallery.com/extension/ae9d6285-3f2a-4cbe-9021-82eb4d8b8c74/

I found the following answer to be helpful when I was running into a similar issue with a NET Core project template: Project template for Visual Studio 2015

The suggestion to add

<CreateInPlace>true</CreateInPlace>

in between the tag for

<TemplateData></TemplateData>

fixed it for me; otherwise, I would simply end up with an empty project.
