Using the MVVM Toolkit in VS2010
Posted by JULY on June 23, 2009
In the past I have written about how much I like the MVVM Toolkit released by Microsoft! I recently decided to install VS2010 and kick the tires! Because most of my work is in WPF and I almost always use the MVVM pattern, I naturally needed to port the VS2008 project template to VS2010! Here is what you need to know
The MVVM toolkit installed the project template into the following directory
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\CSharp\Windows\1033
Copy the WpfModelViewApplicationProjectTemplateV0.1.cs.zip to a temporary directory and extract the content. Locate and open the WpfModelViewApplicationProjectTemplate.cs.vstemplate. Comment or remove the following lines
<WizardExtension> <Assembly>Microsoft.VisualStudio.Presentation.Extensions, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35</Assembly> <FullClassName>Microsoft.VisualStudio.Presentation.Extensions.ModelView.TemplateWizard</FullClassName> </WizardExtension>
Save the file and re-zip the directory content. All that is now left to do is place the edited version of the WpfModelViewApplicationProjectTemplateV0.1.cs.zip in the user project template location
TIP: Open VS2010 –> Tools –> Projects and Solutions for the directory path…
Restart VS2010 and now you have the project template available
