Visual Studio :: How To Sort Templates Alphabetically
Feb 8, 2010
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.

This should be a fairly simple one. I am creating a dataset which will contain a description field which I would like to sort by. The reason I want to sort the dataadapter and not in my SQL is that I am already ordering by the results that have a particular value. My SQL looks like this:
SELECT pif_desc, pif_fund, psf_end, (CASE WHEN SUM(pmi_units) IS Null THEN 0 ELSE SUM(pmi_units) END) As fundunits FROM tbl_mem INNER JOIN tbl_sfunds ON pm_scheme = psf_scheme INNER JOIN tbl_invfun ON tbl_fund = tbl_fund LEFT JOIN pe_minv ON pmi_fund = pif_fund AND pm_member = pmi_member WHERE pm_member = @pm_member GROUP BY pif_desc, pif_fund, psf_end ORDER BY fundunits DESC
My VB looks like this:
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("getMembersFundsDCGENST", conn)
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
Dim p_pm_member As New SqlParameter("@pm_member", SqlDbType.Int)
p_pm_member.Value = pm_member
cmd.Parameters.Add(p_pm_member)
Dim p_period_closing_date As New SqlParameter("@closingdate", SqlDbType.DateTime)
p_period_closing_date.Value = period_closing_date
cmd.Parameters.Add(p_closing_date)
Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter(cmd)
da.Fill(ds)
I want to sort the datarows is ds.tables(0) by pif_desc but still have the rows with fundunits > 0 listed first.

I am dynamically binding the treeview using DOM.
I m populating the tree by sayin treeview1.nodes.add(Treenode)
After this, i need to sort them alphabetically. I have followed this ref:[URL] but I was not able to understand how to do it only for parent nodes, since I don't have child nodes.
Moreover I m not able to get property sort().
How do I achieve this?

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.

The 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.

I can't seem to add any new web form files to my project. The option is missing from my Visual Web Developer Express 2008. I have other options, like adding a new class or Silverlight project, but nothing for web forms or master pages.

Using 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 just recently upgrade my asp.net web project from visual studio 2005 to visual studio 2010. The upgrade was successful with no problems however im missing some features with this project. The One Click Publish feature(which is greyed out) in the header area of Visual Studio 2010 and the Add Config Transforms feature which is no where to be seen when you right click on web.config. When i create a new web project straight from visual studio 2010, these options work fine.

Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 locked up, and when I tried to restart it, it wouldn't load, so I did a devenv.exe /resetuserdata to get it going again. It reset everyhing in my options of the web app/ etc, and now some AJAX conrols don't work such as dragpanel. I assume that it is because something got reset that I haven't enabled again, but can't figure it out.
