Answer 1

I assume you're trying to use the ServiceBus Integration features. The project category is called "ServiceBus".

The Composite Application feature is not a part of this CTP.

Answer 2

I have installed WindowsAzureServiceBusConnect-x64.exe  and WindowsAzureServiceBusEAI-EDILabsSDK-x64.exe (http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=17691) which is the part of CTP but it is not working for me.

Answer 3

Hi

Can you please elaborate what is not working? As Mustansir mentioned, to create a new EAI or EDI project you should be able to find the project template under Visual C# -> Service Bus.

Hi,

After installation of WindowsAzureServiceBusConnect-x64.exe and WindowsAzureServiceBusEAI-EDILabsSDK-x64.exe from the new link of CTP (http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=17691) i should be able to see the option of Appfabric template under Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 -- New Project --AppFabric for creating new application.

So this AppFabric template option is not see in under Visual Studio 2010 -- New project.

Thanks,

Answer 5

Hi,

As mentioned by Mustansir and Neha, you will not find AppFabric Template in Visual Studio Project Template list after the installation of the exes from the new CTP link you provided. Rather you will find ServiceBus Template from where you can create EAI/EDI Projects.

Answer 6

Hi,

Ok.

Below is the screen which shows Installed Template for App fabric application under Visual Studio 2010.

So looking at the installation list above how can i get template for building App fabric Application under Visual Studio 2010 ??

Please let me know if any setup is missing.

Thanks,

Answer 7

Hi

Do you have a previous version of CTP installed in your machine? If yes, please uninstall the previous version and install the new CTP version from the product download link you mentioned.

After installing, if you check under Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features, you should see an entry for "Windows Azure ServiceBus EAI & EDI Labs SDK - April 2010" with version "2.0.846.0".

Once you have this installed, kindly open your Visual Studio 2010 and you will find the Project Template of ServiceBus under Visual C# Template from where you can select either EAI/EDI Project.

Regards,
Naman

Answer 8

Hi,

I have already installed above mention setup as you can see in below screen also.

But still i am not able to see the option of AppFabric template for creating AppFabric Application under Visual Studio 2010.

I want to know regarding AppFabric  Template under Visual C# Template for creating AppFabric Application.

ServiceBus template is been seen under Visual C# Template .... but i don't want that solution.

Thanks

Hi Sachin,

You might want to look at this thread that discusses about Composite Apps, also called AppFabric Applictions.
