I was playing with Visual Studio Solution Explorer, and one of the things I wished Microsoft had fixed from Visual Studio 2005, was the ability to select classes with names
- Class1.cs
- Class1.Input.cs
- Class1.Output.cs
and make them appear as a tree, like Solution Explorer does with DataSet classes and Forms and Controls.
But I couldn’t find anything.
I know how to implement the feature manually, but I don’t see the point. In Visual Studio 2005 I had tried to create a template for a pack of 3 files like the above for example, but in the templates xml file, there was no DependsUpon tag to allow such a trick.
From what I understand, Solution Explorer has an automatic mechanism about this feature, because when I had a Class1.cs in my solution, and then added a Class1.Designer.cs it automatically implemented the trick.
Can’t there be a standard that ClassName.*.cs will hang below ClassName.cs? It would be very useful.
