There's a lot of great information on MSDN dealing with creating Visual Studio templates. I've been specifically working through a Multi-Project Solution (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms185308(VS.80,printer).aspx)
I have everything working in my template (4 projects + 2 Solution Folders - 1 for Tests, and 1 for Libraries that I'm referencing). I have no problem adding projects, or solution folders through the template, but I've hit a wall trying to add dll's and other resources that are not in a specific project, they are just solution level items.
Has anyone dealt with this before? Thanks,

To build or rebuild a single projectIn Solution Explorer, choose or open the project. On the menu bar, choose Build, and then choose either Build ProjectName or Rebuild ProjectName. Choose Build ProjectName to build only those project components that have changed since the most recent build.
A project is contained within a solution. Despite its name, a solution isn't an "answer". It's simply a container for one or more related projects, along with build information, Visual Studio window settings, and any miscellaneous files that aren't associated with a particular project.
In Solution Explorer, select the solution. On the File menu, point to Add, and click Existing Project. In the Add Existing Project dialog box, locate the project you want to add, select the project file, and then click Open. The project is added to the selected solution.
I have been trying to do the same thing for a while now and have had no luck finding a native way to do it. The way I am doing it currently is having a custom project template that adds the items to the project and then through a VS Wizard associated with that template using convention to move the files to the solution level and removing them from the project level.
