How to enable adding a custom item template in a Shared project

Question

I have created a VSIX Project along with 6 Item Template projects. The item templates install and are accessible inside of Visual Studio, except for from Shared projects. When I try to add a new item to a Shared project, my custom items are not available. How do I make my custom items available to the Shared project?

Answer 1

I was able to solve my own question. In a different forum, I found that if I add the following node to the .vstemplate file, it becomes available for Shared projects:

<AppliesTo>SharedAssetsProject</AppliesTo>

I had tried VisualBasic + SharedAssetsProject, but that didn't work. It was only when I did SharedAssetsPorject alone that it worked.
