Setting an Executor Type in a Template

By default, templates use the project's default executor. If you change the default executor for a project, the templates use the new default executor.

You can edit a template's properties to use an executor other than the project's default executor. Once you have set a new executor for the template, the template's executor will not change when the project or the project's default executor changes.

You can also create custom templates and set executor types for them. When a file is created from the custom template, the file is assigned that template's executor instead of the project's default executor.

To set an executor for a template:

  1. From the main window, choose Tools and choose Options.
  2. In the Options window, expand the Templates node, expand the appropriate template category node, and select the template you want to change.
  3. Click the Execution tab.
  4. Click the value for the Executor property and select an executor from the combo box.

To create a custom template and assign it an executor:

  1. Create a file from a template and give the file the name you want to use for the template.
  2. In the Source Editor, make any modifications you want to the file's source code.
  3. Right-click the file in the Explorer and choose Properties.
  4. In the Properties window, click the Execution tab.
  5. Click the value for the Executor property and select an executor from the combo box.
  6. Right-click the file in the Explorer and choose Save as Template.
  7. In the Save as Template dialog box, select a template category and click OK.

    The new template is available in the template chooser.
