Built-in Visual Studio Templates

Jun 24, 2022

XPO ships with several Visual Studio templates that simplify the creation of new projects, and speed-up the addition of project items such as persistent objects and data model metadata.

Project Item Templates

XPO project item templates are available via the Add | New Item… command in the context menu of Solution Explorer.

The table below lists the project item templates and provides their descriptions.
