When Beta 1 of the VS Express Editions came out, I wrote an article about Item Templates for Visual Studio 2005; a topic I was excited about ’cause I hate typing more than I have to (if I had a quarter for everytime I wrote [TestFixture]…). I always meant to update it for Beta 2.

…

Um, yeah: I didn’t do that, and when RTM came around, I promised myself, I’ll update it again. But I’m too lazy to do so for three reasons: 1) Most of you will create it with the Export Template… menu item under the File menu (which didn’t work in any beta I tried), so knowing about the XML Schema for vstemplate files won’t matter much; 2) If you really need to know about it, look at a few of the built-in templates: you’ll see a pattern, I reckon; finally 3) David Hayden already did a fantastic job of how to modify the existing templates and creating custom templates with the Export Template Wizard.
