I am trying to create an ASP.NET web site, and I would like to start with the template here:
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2009/08/26/starter-project-templates-vs-2010-and-net-4-0-series.aspx
I have used this template in the past, but for some reason the computer that I’m currently using does not have it. Actually, when I choose File->New Web Site…, I get a lot less options than what are shown on that site (e.g. I cannot make an “AJAX Server Control”).
Can anyone direct me to how I can add these features into Visual Studio? Do I need to install a plugin?
I am using VS2010 with SP1 installed. Windows XP with .NET 4.0 installed.
Thanks.
There are some case (Microsoft loves making simple things complex) where the templates are not properly deployed.
You can try to run
devenv.exe /setupfrom an elevated command line. This will rebuild the templates cache. This will extract all the template files from the template archives.
