Yesterday I was working for my demos for CodeCamp Tampa (yep, I’m finally speaking somewher), and I was creating a new Web form so that I could then copy all the Atlas junk into the page when I saw the words “My Templates” at the bottom of the New items window… I thought wouldn’t it be cool if I could create my own Atlas templates. Guess what? You can! More importantly, it’s easy.
Here’s a link on “jfo’s coding blog.” Basically you can turn any project or an item into a reusable template (I don’t think we’ve talked nearly enough about this).
In light of this I’ll be creating a series of Atlas templates for myself. I have decided to make these templates available here on CodeBetter.
I’m going to try with this post to use the CS’ attachment feature I don’t think BlogJet will let me do it, so I’ll be manually adding the files to this post (after I publish).
Right out of the gate I have 4 files – Atlas-enabled WebForm (C#), Atlas-enabled WebForm(VB), Atlas UpdatePanel WebForm (C#), and Atlas UpdatePanel WebForm (VB). All of these are zip files (and their contained in a zip attachment to this post). You'll want to put them in My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Templates\ItemTemplates. Once you do that they'll be available for you in your development (or you can try to build your own using the tools in Visual Studio 2005)
