FileName As String, _
Name As String _
) As ProjectItem
'Usage
Dim instance As ProjectItems
Dim FileName As String
Dim Name As String

returnValue = instance.AddFromTemplate(FileName, _
Name)
ProjectItem AddFromTemplate(
string FileName,
string Name

ProjectItem^ AddFromTemplate(
[InAttribute] String^ FileName,
[InAttribute] String^ Name
)
function AddFromTemplate(
FileName : String,
Name : String
) : ProjectItem
Parameters
FileName
Type: System.StringRequired. The full path and file name of the template project file.
Name
Type: System.StringRequired. The file name to use for the new project item.
Return Value
Type: EnvDTE.ProjectItem
A null reference.
Remarks
When you call AddFromTemplate, there is no need to explicitly create a new solution (such as with DTE.Solution.Create), because AddFromTemplate automatically creates a solution.
Note
The ProjectItems.AddFromTemplate method always returns nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). In order to retrieve the added ProjectItem, you can interate through the ProjectItems collection, or use the ProjectItemEvents.ItemAdded event.
