Understanding project template structure

We all use templates when we create a new project or a new item with Visual Studio. In this section, we will cover the difference between project and item templates and then see what files are involved in this process. Project templates in Visual Studio are powerful tools that help developers quickly set up new projects with predefined configurations and structures. On the other hand, we can create item templates for specific parts of the project. These templates provide a base that can be customized according to specific needs, streamlining the development process and ensuring consistency across projects.

Both project templates and item templates in Visual Studio are reusable structures designed to simplify development by providing basic code frameworks and configurations that can be tailored to specific needs. Despite their similarities, they differ significantly in scope and application within the Visual Studio environment.
