Project Template for Visual Studio

[micdenny]

Could be great to create a visual studio template, to generate the project with all the default pre-installed folder, against radical default conventions (Presentation, Partial, Messaging, Handler, ...), removing the Startupuri, and adding the bootstrapper. This idea comes from a lesson on Radical I did, where people were asking me this functionality.

This could help beginners use Radical.

+1, we need to understand how to:

• include nuget dependencies in the template;
• distribute the template (e.g. vsix in the VS Gallery);

And:

• choose the default bootstrapper: I'd say Castle, that is the one we know better

I would also suggest to add a basic UI Composition, with a MainView (Window), containing a solo ContentPresenter with an attached region named "MainContent", then create a UserControl (named? dunno, FirstView?) and inject it in that region using the attribute [InjectViewInRegion(Named = "MainContent")]

Both view, with them associated ViewModel (MainViewModel and FirstViewModel).

or using the PartialView behavior so to avoid the attribute. Also, we should add a readme with a couple of hints and links to specific sections of the WiKi

+1 for the PartialView behavior and for the readme.
