Hi,

I create new SDM component. Now I want to allow a VS project creation based on a custom template for my component.

I can't find the way to define such behavior in the SDM model. The only way I have found is a creating Plug-In for a VS like it is done for a Generic Application and a WebApplication. Have I missed something?

I think you're asking if it is possible to hook a custom SDM type in to the generation mechanism used by the Application Designer to create web and Windows projects. If that is your question, then I'm afraid we don't currently support that, although we are investigating it for a future release. If you create a VS add-in to achieve the same result you may find that your created projects show up on the Application Designer as web or Windows projects because the designer will see these projects in the solution and add them to your model.

You are right, that was my question. How does an inheritance work? When I try to extend my custom SDM type from WebApplication, my type does not have the same behavior as WebApplication does. And an inherited settings do not appear on the diagram. I thought may be if my type is inherited from WebApplication type it supports a project generation and so on.
