I have revived this blog to publish some documentation on new Visual Studio Project Templates which I have uploaded to the Visual Studio Marketplace. You can download the VSIX installers from the marketplace to add new Project types to the New Project dialog in Visual Studio 2019.

Once you’ve run the installer(s) and restarted Visual Studio, you can find the new project types in the new project dialog by searching for ‘tsl’ or ‘hsbcad’.

This is extending the work Chirag did in this area. He had published a video describing the use of the ViewModel and other base classes he’d created for this purpose, but please note that these base classes were subsequently updated and the video is no longer entirely accurate.

Plugin Properties Dialogs are here.

Map Based callDotNet2 Project Template is here.

This page describes how to use the Project Templates.

Feedback is of course welcome, Enjoy!
