I would like to know what are the exact input parameters for CreateProjectAction.

I have a Project template that works and that I can use by using the standard VS Add New Project wizard.

But when trying to unffoldingthe wiward with a recipe I get the  following error:

Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.ActionExecutionException: An exception occurred during the binding of reference or execution of recipe AddBusinessArea. Error was: Action AddBusinessAreaProjectAction failed to execute:
Value does not fall within the expected range..

Can you see what is wrong in the follwing recipe? Also do you know where I can find a precise documentation (the on-line help is not precise enough and the object brower does not help either)?

Thanks

Hi
The input properties are
ProjectName, where is the name that will have the new project.
Template, where is the path where you've the vstemplate file.
ProjectFolder, where is the physical folder where you want to unfold the template.

You can use the object browser to find out the api of each action.
