Visual Studio Templates Download 5,0/5 3556 reviews
  1. The templates expect Visual Studio's solution file (.sln) to be in the same folder as the project file. Checking this option puts the solution file in a different folder, which can cause build errors.
  2. A number of predefined project and item templates are installed with Visual Studio. These templates, such as the ASP.NET Web Application and Class Library templates, are available to choose from when you create a new project. Item templates, such as code files, XML files, HTML pages, and Style Sheets, appear in the Add New Item window.

In Visual Studio 2017, By dint of the New Installation Experience (Workloads), you can now Install the Office Developer Tools directly without downloading an independent file from the Web Platform Installer as was in previous Visual Studio versions. Open Visual Studio 2017 Installer. Click on Modify to add a new component. Download Visual Studio Community, Professional, and Enterprise. Try Visual Studio Code or Team Foundation Server for free today. SideWaffle is an extension. The SideWaffle extension adds a bunch of useful Snippets, Project- and Item Templates to Visual Studio. The purpose is to make your daily work in Visual Studio a richer and more productive experience. This is where all the item- and project templates live. What I ended up with on my Start Menu was a Visual Studio 2017 and a Visual Studio 2017 (2). The Visual Studio 2017 (2) had all the templates I was missing. Following the steps found in the First answer to this question (which were clear and easy to follow) did not fix my issue.

After a Visual Studio 2017 (RC) installation from scratch, I can't find a standard list of templates. I'm specifically interested in the Console Application (C#) template and the Windows Form (C#) template. I'm pretty sure I'm missing one of the Individual Components. I'm not sure which one is supposed to be installed and I don't want to install all of them.

Please see my list with components installed.

You need to install it by launching the installer.

Click the 'Workload' tab* in the upper-left, then check top right '.NET-Desktop Development' and hit install. Note it may modify your installation size (bottom-right), and you can install other Workloads, but you must install '.NET-Desktop Development' at least.

*as seen in comments below, users were not able to achieve the equivalent using the 'Individual Components' tab.

If you have installed .NET desktop development and still you can't see the templates, then VS is probably getting the templates from your custom templates folder and not installed. To fix that, copy the installed templates folder to custom.

This is your 'installed' folderC:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0Common7IDEProjectTemplates

This is your 'custom' folderC:UsersDocumentsVisual Studio 2017TemplatesProjectTemplates

Typically this happens when you are at the office and you are running VS as an administrator and visual studio is confused how to merge both of them and if you notice they don't have the same folder structure and folder names. One is CSHARP and the other C#..

I didn't have the same problem when I installed VS 2017 community edition at home though. This happened when I installed visual studio 2017 'enterprise' edition.

My personal experience was that I had installed the Team Foundation Server client for 2017 first (was using it as a Proof of Concept for our QA team, while I was still using VS2015), then followed it up with Installing Visual Studio 2017 later to begin development.

What I ended up with on my Start Menu was a Visual Studio 2017 and a Visual Studio 2017 (2). The Visual Studio 2017 (2) had all the templates I was missing. Following the steps found in the First answer to this question (which were clear and easy to follow) did not fix my issue. I had thought that launching the client would upgrade to the Development Client, but it did not. I renamed it to Visual Studio Professional, and now have everything I need. Not sure if this happens to anyone else, but it was what happened to me, so I hope this helps someone.

NOTE: this topic is about installation issues with MS project templates.

I came here via a search in Google, I was looking for a missing Template option in Visual Studio 2017 File menu: in VS-2015, it was Export to Template and I used it to add my own standard Project Items.

Meanwhile, I found an answer. my issue was not related to default templates and it does not need install things. The option Export to Template has been moved to the VS-2017 Project menu !

My C++ templates were there all along, it was my C# ones that were missing.

Similar to CSharpie, after trying many modify/re-installs, oddly the following finally worked for me :
- run the installer, but un-select 'Desktop development with C++'.
- allow installer to complete
- run the installer again, and select 'Desktop development with C++'.
- allow installer to complete

In my case, I had all of the required features, but I had installed the Team Explorer version (accidentally used the wrong installer) before installing Professional.

When running the Team Explorer version, only the Blank Solution option was available.

The Team Explorer EXE was located in:'C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio2017TeamExplorerCommon7IDEdevenv.exe'

Once I launched the correct EXE, Visual Studio started working as expected.
