Setting a Compiler Type in a Template
By default, templates use the default compiler type. If you
change the default compiler type, the templates also start
using the new default compiler type.
You can edit a template's properties to use a specific compiler type
instead of the default compiler type. Once you change a compiler
type for the template, the template's compiler type does not change if the
default compiler type changes.
You can also create custom templates and set compiler types for them. When
a file is created from the custom template, the file is assigned the template's
compiler type instead of the default compiler type.
To set a compiler type for a template:
- From the main window, choose Tools
Options.
- In the Options window, expand the Source Creation and Management node. Then expand the Templates node.
- Expand the appropriate template category node, and select the template you want to
change.
- Click the Execution tab.
- Click the value for the Compiler property and select a compiler from the
combo box.
To create a custom template and assign it a compiler type:
- Create a file from a template and give the file the name you want to use
for the template.
- In the Source Editor, make any modifications you want to the file's
source code.
- Right-click the file in the Explorer and choose Properties.
- In the Properties window, click the Execution tab.
- Click the value for the Compiler property and select a compiler from the
combo box.
- Right-click the file in the Explorer and choose Save as Template.
- In the Save as Template dialog box, select a template category and click
OK.
The new template is available in the template chooser.
