Creating VSZ Files

See Also

A .vsz file represents items that appear in the Add Item dialog and the New Project dialog as new items and projects that can be added to your solution. The .vsz file contains information that identifies a wizard and provides custom information for it. The custom information allows you to invoke the same wizard with different data from different .vsz files. This allows a single wizard to perform seemingly different functions.

The following shows the format of a typical .vsz file:

   VSVersion=6.0
   ClassName=MyProgID.Info
   Param=c:\users\fizzle.java
   Param="another custom parameter"
Part Meaning
VSVersion Identifies the wizard interface the wizard will be expected to implement.
Classname The ProgID of the wizard.
Param Custom parameters that get passed to the wizard upon execution. You can have any number of custom parameters.

Each parameter is contained on a separate line. The quotes shown in the example above are optional.
