Hi raja515 ,

Would you please try this to add missing templates  ?

1. Close all instance of Visual Studio.
2. Open visual studio command prompt .(Starr menu – All Programs - Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 - Visual Studio Tools - right click and run as administrator (visaul studio 2010command prompet)
3. After opening  command prompt , type devenv /installvstemplates . Press Enter.
4.  Let the process be complete and now open visual studio . You will get all missing templates under Visual Studio installed templates.

Please have a look at this link : http://chiragrdarji.wordpress.com/2008/05/06/missing-templates-in-visual-studio-installed-templates/ , the replies there may be also helpful .
