Hi,

I've been trying to add a script to create a custom file type to
visual studio with limited success. I can get the file created and
added to a project, however, I need to add a custom build step to it
and I am not having much success (in implementing or finding the first
step to getting things done).

So what I have so far is this (with some modifications):


function OnFinish(selProj, selObj)
{
try {
var className = wizard.FindSymbol('ITEM_NAME');

var fullFileName = wizard.FindSymbol('PROJECT_PATH') + "\\" +
className + ".xml"

addFileToSolutionExplorerFolder(fullFileName, selProj);

var file = createFileOnDisk(fullFileName);

writeTemplate(file, className);
} catch(e) {
if (e.description.length != 0)
SetErrorInfo(e);
return e.number
}
}

function writeTemplate(file, className)
{
file.WriteLine("...stuff...");;
}

function createFileOnDisk(fullFileName){
var fso = new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject');
var file = fso.CreateTextFile(fullFileName, true, false);
return file;
}

function addFileToSolutionExplorerFolder(fullFileName, selProj)
{

selProj.Object.Filters.Item(dte.SelectedItems(1).Name).AddFile(fullFileName);
}

If someone can point me to some reference (or post a follow-up) as to
how i can add a custom build step for all configurations to the file I
just added - that would be fantastic.

I should mention, this is a Visual C++ project...
