I'm giving Visual Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition (GDR Version) a go on a new project I'm working on and have come up against a slightly annoying problem that I am hoping someone knows how to resolve.
In a nutshell, I would like to alter the default templates used to generate database objects, particularly stored procedures. In the past, using SSMS, I have simply created my own templates which contain the formatting, default number of parameters, etc, that I would generally like to use whenever I create a new sproc. This obviously eliminates a good amount of hand coding and just "feels right" to me to have some consistency in my T-SQL code.
I've tried editing the .sql files located in ..\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\DBPro\Items by adding the formatting and default constructs I would like to use. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get VSTS to recognize these changes. When I add a new stored procedure using the GUI it still uses the default stored procedure formatting.
I've tried shutting down Visual Studio and starting it back up after making these adjustments, but that doesn't seem to have any effect.
Does anyone know how to do this? I haven't been able to find any documentation on MSDN or the DBPro teams' blogs, but I have a feeling this can done. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
