I installed the dotnetnuke starter kit for VS 2008 and now when I go to create a new website or project, the only template is a dotnetnuke website. I have lost all of the default templates that come with VS. Is there some way I can restore those?
View 3 RepliesUsing Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. I was used to creating a web app anytime and I would get a default page for starters and be happy. But today I find that when I pick either the ASP.NET Web Site or ASP.NET Web Application templates I get site.master and a bunch of site admin files that I don't want. Alternately when I select the empty versions of those templates, I get almost nothing at all. An almost empty web.config page and no Default.aspx page. There is nothing magical about having a default.aspx page in place, but it is an indicator of a change when I can only get a virtually completely empty website or a website with a bunch of bells and whistles I don't want.
Also, for some reason, when I create a new app or website as just noted, in the Solution Explorer I get aspx.designer.cs files showing as well as web.config files for both debug and release. Somehow some settings and templates must have changed, or am I missing something here? How can I get my settings/templates to go back to the way they were?
I'm using visual studio 2010 professional, I dont what had happened but i lost my settings suddenly and the VS editor is generating a HYPHEN (-) everytime when i press SPACE BAR key..
I've tried restoring the settings, changing the settings from OPTIONS without any luck.

View 1 RepliesI am having an issue in VS 2010 trying to get even the default ASP.NET Web Application to run in Debug mode. I get the error:
"Unable to start program 'http://localhost:1443/Default.aspx'.
The system cannot find the file specified."
I am stumped here and cannot find anything out there with this error.
I'm wondering if Visual Studio is ever going to allow users to sort the available templates alphabetically.
When clicking on File | New File, I'm greeting with the New File dialog window, which has a seemingly arbitrarily ordered list of items to choose from. This isn't so bad, because there aren't that many, but it would still be nice to order them.
When right-clicking a project, and choosing Add | New Item, I get a Add New Item dialog box that has the same dementedly senseless order, and there are many more of them. Fifty-three on my system, in fact. Having no easy way to order these alphabetically is a serious pain, and I've seen complaints about it all over the Internet. Does anyone know of a way to get Visual Studio 2008 to order these templates alphabetically, and does anyone know if Visual Studio 2010 will finally include this feature?
I found a PowerShell script online that was supposed to accomplish this, but it appears to have been written for .NET 2.0, and I'm using .NET 3.5. I don't have the time to pick apart the PowerShell script and hope I get the modifications right.
I am a 'newbie' to VWD and I am slowly working through the Basic Walkthrough Help files, and learning plenty along the way.However, when I tried to create a new database in the LINQ control walkthrough I found that the option to create a new database is missing, and further investigation has found that many other new item templates are missing.I am using a brand new machine with Windows 7 Ultimate and have enabled IIS and .NET from Control Panel-Programs-Turn Windows Features On-Off. I used the WPI to install all basic elements eg. IIS Components, SQL Server Express.The only 'new item templates' I have when I right-click the App_Data Folder and choose 'new item' are:-ADO.NET Data ServiceAJAX Enabled WCF ServiceDynamic Data FieldSQL Server DatabaseText FileXML FileDoes anyone know where I have gone wrong.

View 2 RepliesThe other day I installed VS 2010 utimate from the MSDN DVD English, Disc# 4699, June 2010, part number x16-88957. While I was following Chris Hammond article on developing DNN module, I downloaded and installed his template provided on codeplexhttp://christoctemplate.codeplex.com/.When starting a new project with his template I noticed that some of the fields such as Location, Solution Name, and check boxes were missing. I re-download the template to make sure it was'nt the problem. I also install vs 2010 ultimate on different machine to see that the problem was still there. Furthermore I also noticed that the problem wasn't specific his template but was also present with other templates such as Ajax Server Control, Ajax Server Control Extender, ASP.net Server Control. You can see the behaviour here www.clemex.com/bug/DnnTemplate/DnnTemplate.htmlSo I uninstalled VS 2010 Ultimate and installed VS 2010 Professional instead and voila no more problems and all templates work as expected :) Sometime more features mean more problems, no need to install ultimate if professional is doing the job.
