IVsSingleFileGenerator Interface is now obsolete.

Question

To create custom tool in Visual Studio 2008 and before, we needed to implement IVsSingleFileGenerator. But from the msdn link (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.visualstudio.texttemplating.vshost.ivssinglefilegenerator(VS.100).aspx) it now says that it is obsolete in Visual Studio 2010. So what would be the best way to generate custom files.

I need to generate those files as can be seen in the picture.
What is the appropriate way to generte custom tool in visual studio 2010.

Answer 1

Hi Prabir,
This version of the interface is Obsolete, because it was a near duplicate of the version

Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.IVsSingleFileGenerator

in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Interop.dll

You should use that version now.
