Figure 12-4 The Select Item To Export window

Figure 12-6 shows Select Template Options, where you specify how the item template will appear in the New Items window that appears when selecting Add New Item on a project. The Template name defaults to the name of the project, which you should change to the item name, by changing the template name to Enum. The description lets the user know the purpose of the item template. If you want to associate an icon or preview, you can click the respective Browse button and select the image you want to be associated with the item. As you may recall, the New Item window has an icon for the item and will display a preview whenever you select the project. The “Automatically import the template into Visual Studio” option will make the item template available via the New Item window. “Display an explorer window on the output files folder” will allow you to access the new file, shown in the Output location. Click Finish to create the item template.
