title: VS 2019 Custom ASP.NET Core project templates
body: <p>I'm trying to figure out how (or even if) I can create a custom Visual Studio project template that hooks into the existing ASP.NET Core Web Application template available in Visual Studio 2019?</p>
  
  <p>What I want to do is something similar to madskristensens <a href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MadsKristensen.ASPNETCoreTemplatePack" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ASP.NET Core Template Pack</a> (<a href="https://github.com/madskristensen/AspNetCoreTemplatePack" rel="nofollow noreferrer">GitHub source code</a>). However instead of VS 2017 I want to do this for VS 2019's revamped "New Project Dialog" window. So imagine adding an additional ASP.NET Core web application template in the place highlighted below.</p>

  <p>I am able to create new project templates (both for Visual Studio and for <code>dotnet new</code>) but nothing has worked thus far. Has anyone been able to extend VS 2019 in this way, or was this taken away after VS 2017?</p>
