Hi jagdish,
after installing VS extensions for WSS. go to create new project in VS 2005. A template called sharepoint and sharepoint server will automatically be installed. click on it you will get list of all the templates available. choose and write the approprite code and then debug it and attach it to the w3p.exe process using DEBUG menu and by clicking Attach to Process. then build it and deploy it. it will be deployed in site features and acticvate it after going to the site features through site actions. Then finally you can perform the action you want.

Let me know if your problem is still not solved.because i am not able to paste the screenshots in this editor......
cheers

hi Jagdish,
You dont need a wsp builder for developing sharepoint template in VS 2005. instead of that just install the visual studio extensions for windows sharepoint services version 1.1 from the following link.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=3e1dcccd-1cca-433a-bb4d-97b96bf7ab63&displaylang=en
and you can the develop any kind of template in sharepoint.
