Notice that in this C# template for application-level macros, Revit VSTA has already:
■ Included the necessary
using
directives.
■ Identified the module namespace (
MyFirstModuleAppCS
in the graphic above).
■ Started the
ThisApplication
class definition.
■ Started the methods for
Module_Startup()
and
Module_Shutdown().
■ Started your new macro's method (
MyFirstMacroAppCS
in the graphic above), giving you the
opportunity to add your implementation code between the braces.
Also, note that the Revit VSTA Project Explorer shows your context.
5 In the main window of the IDE, you can now enter your source code. See Macro Source Code
Examples on page 1430.

NOTE Remember that you must successfully build and save module projects in the Revit VSTA IDE,
before they will display in the Macro Manager's categorized list. See Building Macros in the Revit
VSTA IDE on page 1432.
