Probably the final VS2010 Release as I have some new VS2012 templates coming.

BEFORE USE YOU need to install the MSBuild Community Tasks available from https://github.com/loresoft/msbuildtasks/downloads

For best results you should configure your development environment as described in this blog post

Then read this latest blog post about customizing and using these custom templates.

Installation is simple To use this template place the ZIP (not extracted) file in your

My Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C#\Web

OR for VB

My Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual Basic\Web

folder. If you don't have the Web folder you can create it.

Start up Visual Studio 2010 (or 2008) and create a new project, be sure to place the project directory into your DNN/desktopmodules folder and uncheck the create directory for solution option.

For more details read the blog post.

Automated Packaging REQUIRED INSTALLATION
To use these templates you must download and execute the MSI file from http://msbuildtasks.tigris.org. You must do this BEFORE you can create a project with the templates. After you create the project, build it in RELEASE mode and you will find the two packages in the PACKAGES folder of your project directory.

Changes

Fixed C# template that was still hard coded in the CSPROJ file to DNNDEV
Changes to .DNN file for SOURCE installs to keep the .DNN file in place
