Not able to see c# under visual studio installed templates

Question

Hi,

I am new to C#.net programming. I just started learning this.

I have visual studio 2008 installed in my system. To create program when i click new project, it shows me only SQL Server analysis, reporting and integration services projects in visual studio installed templates. I do not see anything to create the c# project there.

I now install visual studio c# express version, that works.

Just wondering if i can create c# project in visual studio 2008 rather in c# express.

Please suggest!

Thanks.

Hi babbupunia,

Welcome to the MSDN forum.

Not knowing what have your done to VS2008.

So I may need more information.

Now please first show me VS2008 edition and then follow these steps to see if it can be fixed:

Go to Tools>>Import and Export Settings>>Reset all settings>>Choose yes or no to save current settings>>

Then choose Visual C# Development Settings or General Development Settings.

So that you can have templates you need.

If this cannot fix, show me more details about your issue, maybe a screenshot can show us the details,

Thanks,

Hi Barry,

Thanks for replying. I tried doing the same thing you suggested to reset the settings.

I go to Tools>>Import and Export Settings>>Reset all settings>>Choose yes or no to save current settings>>

Then choose Visual C# Development Settings or General Development Settings.

But do noy see any option for C# developement settings.

There are only two options.

• Businees Intelligence settings.
• General Development settings.

Am i missing something?

Thanks,

Punia

Hi Punia,

What's your VS version? Visual C# 2008 Express?

Could you share a screen shot of "New project window"?

It seems you haven't installed completely.  I recommend you download Visual Studio 2008 C# Express to install http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2008-editions/express

That will be a test if you can install C# templates successfully.

What's more, you can open your ISO to repair Visual Studio.

If you have any updates, feel free to let me know.

Thanks,
