Patent abstract

A custom assembly is registered and supported for extending a wizard, such as a template wizard, to perform custom actions. A data file is provided to a wizard. The wizard generates project files, which are then adjusted based on an assembly with custom code. The assembly with custom code may provide a user-created custom interface that receives user input and adjusts the project files accordingly. These project files may be associated with the template.
