I installed VS 2008 and I installed .NET 3.5 SP1 and I got all templates. Then, I had to uninstall VS 2008 (please don't ask why) without uninstalling .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 or anything else. After that, I re-installed VS 2008 back, then I open up VS 2008 and found that when I add a new item the Entity Framework template is not among t...
I am increasingly annoyed by the unnecessarily verbose template that is used when I create a new unit test in Visual Studio (using the default, included unit testing framework). Instead of public ImportModelStateTest() { // // TODO: Add constructor logic here // } private TestContext testContextInstance; /// <summary> ///Gets or se...
I have discovered that when I install .NET RIA Services (July preview) it breaks all of my projects that were created with Michael Sync's Silverlight MVVM toolkit. This MVVM toolkit includes a Visual Studio project template which is now failing to build. Here is the message I get: The project file "..\SilverlightModelViewApplication.W...
This seemed like an easy enough task and back in the Visual Studio 6 times, I could just drag a folder to a project and the folder would be imported. I didn't need this in the past years, but now I'm really looking for a way to import a static directory structure, much the same way it works when you just drag a folder on an ASP.NET Web S...

I'm trying to tweak a project template file exported by Visual Studio's "Export Template" wizard. At first glance this looks like just a garden-variety zip file, but it's not: I can't edit files. If I try to change or delete or replace a file in the zip archive, I get The Compressed (zipped) Folder is invalid or corrupted. If I uncompr...

There is some software I want to write a plugin for. The software includes some sample plugins. I want to create a new fresh project but I want to use one of the sample plugin vsproj's project settings as a template. It doesn't seem very clear on how to do this. If I do "New Project From Existing Code" that only imports the cpp, h, etc ...
I downloaded the DotNetNuke Visual Studio Installer, and the only project template I got was a Compiled Module. I've seen screen shots and examples where people had 'DNN Project' projects, and 'DNN Skin' projects. Did something go wrong with my installation? Where can I get a template for a DotNetNuke 5 Skin project? ...
My source project includes a LINQ to SQL DBML file called Context.dbml. This auto-generates a file called Context.designer.vb, which is included in the source project. I've created a Visual Studio template from this project. But when I go to create a new project using this template, Context.designer.vb is not included, so the new pro...
I have a server with something called Visual Studio 2008 Shell (integrated mode) - ENU which only provides templates for SSIS work. I did not remove that before installing the VS 2008 Standard Edition (at the end of this there was no demand for a reboot). I then installed the Service Pack 1 for this VStudio product (again, no order for a...
Guess the question says it all. We have developed a library in C#, and now I wish to create a project template to aid in using the library correctly. I want new projects to include a reference to the library assembly, but would prefer not to have to deploy the assembly to the GAC, or to depend on the assembly residing in some specific ...
MSDN Template Parameters Is $machinename$ always capitalized? I wanted to write some code based on this return value, but Python's socket.gethostname() returns "Mark-PC" whereas $machinename$ returns "MARK-PC". If so, I'll just .upper() the hostname, but it seems kinda dumb that I should have to do this. Why the inconsistency? ...

I've got a bunch of useful Project Item templates for Visual Studio 2010 and I'd like to share them with the developers in my team. At the moment the zip files are sitting on a network share with an instructions text file telling users to copy the zips deep into their Documents folders. I'd much rather have Visual Studio look in the s...
I have not hardly touched EF4, but I've used Linq to sql quite a lot. I would like to start into one of the EF templates but I have no idea what situations make sense for each or what their intent was. I have the following possibilities: Data templates ADO.NET Entity Data Model Service-based Database (is this even related to EF? Cod...
