Missing template

pinkus · July 22nd, 2010, 08:25 AM

Hi,

I have just started to study the book and I'm already stuck in the beggining

In chapter 2 I'm supposed to add a "master template" file to the site I have just created.
The template "master page" does not apear in the list I'm givven, I looked for answers on the web but I cannot find how to add templates to the VWD.

I have already uninstalled the VWD and installed it again

hoe can I add templates to the program?

Thanks

Hi there,

Sounds like you created a new Web Applicaton (File | New Project) instead of a new Web SIte (File | New Web Site).

The two types are not compatible, and the book assumes you're using a Web Site, not a Web Application.

Hope this helps,

Imar

Hi,

I defelently did (File | New Web Site ) and NOT project, even tried a few times again.

In "add new item" menu I get only the following templates:
ADO.NET Data Dervice
SQL Server Database
AJAX-enabled WCF Service
Text File
Dynamic Data Field
XML File

And nothing more...
In the book it looks like there should be a lot more templates

Thanks

There should definitely be more items.

Which item in the Solution Explorer did you right-click to bring up the Add New Item dialog? It looks like you right-clicked App_Data instead of the root of the site.
