In this episode of Visual Studio Toolbox, we talk about reuse, something we want as much of as we can get. We look at how you can create your own item template. We take an XAML splash screen and turn it into an item template that shows up when in the Add New Item dialog box. Then, we take a look at the VSIX Explorer and Export Template Wizard extensions and see how they make it easy for us to create a .vsix file—with that file, other developers can easily install (or uninstall) the splash screen item template.

It would be nice if the videos would actually play :(

They freeze about 70% of the time no matter if you use the web player or Media Player. The probelm is across multiple PCs and browers/OS versions...

Jeff,
Are you seeing the freezing only when you watch the video online? Or are you also seeing it if you download the video and run it locally?

the video doesn't work on the browser (I'm using IE9)
and it's horribly freezing when I run the HQ WMV version on the WMP v12, using win7 enterprise..
Thanks for the video

I am not seeing any problems with the video in my browser (IE 9) or with the HQ WMV. Jeff and engwal, where are you guys located?

@Gordon: You cannot export templates for C++. I have forwarded your comments to the C++ team.
