ASP.NET MVC 2 Missing

Question

I just recently installed VS 2010 RTM, and I found out that the template for ASP.NET MVC is missing. I've already checked the installed programs. "Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 2" and Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 2 - Visual Studio 2010 tools" are already installed in my machine. What do you think is the problem with this? I've reinstalled VS 2010 twice and it still persists. Btw, I got my VS from MSDN. Many thanks

 Things have changed in asp.net mvc 2. They use what is called views..... http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd394709(VS.100).aspx Please do a web search asp.net mvc from msdn look under working with views.

The web site asp.net should have something on this too

phil haack mentioned this in his website as well

Answer 2

I'm referring to the ASP.NET MVC 2 template. It is missing, that's why i'm not able to create a new ASP.NET MVC 2 project within VS 2010.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for your post.

Some clarification with you:
Which edition of Visual Studio 2010 are you running now?

I've installed Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate Edition on my machine. I can create ASP.NET MVC 2 related application when I create a new project via File menu >> New >> Project >> Select the programming language (e.g. Visual C#) >> Expand the node >> Select Web.

Could you please help me to check these steps?

Hope this helps! If you have any concern, please feel free to let me know.

Best regards,
Yichun Chen

Add New Project rather than Add New Website.
You will not find Web Site template of ASP.NET MVC.
ASP.NET MVC template is Web Application template.

Hello VS Net 2010 Team,

I found this problem in Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate Edition RTM Trial Version as well. I have installed it using full features checked and unable to find 'ASP NET MVC 2' Web project template within "New Project Dialog". Looking forward for your feedbacks.

 

Cheers.

Did anyone ever come up with the solution for this ? I've encountered the same problem. Installed VS2010 from MSDN and there are no MVC templates for me. I uninstalled and reinstalled. I've run dev with /ResetSettings and still no templates.  I tried New Project and and New Website and the template just is not there. This is annoying.

Answer 7

I had a similar problem.

The problem was with VS 2008 which I didn't remove before installing VS 2010. 

At first I tried reinstalling VS 2010 but when it didn't work I uninstalled VS 2008 and all additional tools for VS 2008. Then I just ran installation of mvc2 tools for VS 2010 again and now everything works.

Michael and All,

I too had a similar issue when I tried creating an MVC or fancier web stuff.

I too have V.S. 2010 Ultimate, my Rel is 10.0.30319.1 RTMRel (Ver 4.0.30319)

MY Web Choices were

- ASP.NET Web Service Application
- ASP.NET Web Application
- ASP.NET Server Control

I then remembered that I had to create a project for an older computer, and had to "back-track" my version to .NET Framework 3.0 on the last project that I opened up.
*************************************** SOLUTION TO MY CONCERN ***************

When selecting the New Project, or adding one, the top Toolbar has the drop-down lists to choose the .NET Framework version. then the option on how to sort the results.

I chose .NET Framework 4, and a slew of new options presented themselves, because the version of .NET Framework that I chose now supports these types of projects

- ASP.NET Web Application
- ASP.NET Server Control
- ASP.NET MVC 2 Web Applicaiton
- ASP.NET MVC 2 Empty Web Applicaiton
- ASP.NET Empty Web Application
- ASP.NET Dynamic Data Linq to SQL Web Application
- ASP.NET Dynamic Data Entities Web Application
- ASP.NET AJAX Server Control Extender
- ASP.NET AJAX Server Control

HTH (Hope This Helps)
