I couldn't wait to try the project templates so I installed VS2008.
I am very happy with these but I do have a couple of improvements to
request. If these should be logged elsewhere, let me know.
First, it would be nice if I could specify a post-build step *after* the
MakeSfxCA step. In that way my post-build step can copy the CA target to
another location.
Second, Clean should clean up the *.CA.dll as well.
Both of these can be accomplished by hand editing the csproj file (or
manually doing the operations), but of course if you can do it within the
project template, that would save a bit of effort.
These tools are awesome! Thanks!
