Can't create web project

[CJM]

I'm trying to create a new web project (ASP.NET) on VS2005, but when I click
on New Project I don't get offered the option of creating any type of web
project. It offers me both VB.NET and C# projects plus Business Intelligence
projects and 'Other Project Types' but nowhere does it mention any type of
web projects.

I've just checked and the web developer component *is* installed.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Chris

You don't create web projects any more, you select new website. There is an
add in that allows you to use the old style project model in VS 2005, just
try searching MSDN.

Hi Chris,

In VS2005, by default, you need to use "New WebSite" to create a web
project. However, we can install an add-on called "Web Application Project"
to VS2005.

The Visual Studio 2005 Web Application Project Model is a new web project
option for Visual Studio 2005 that provides the same conceptual web project
approach as VS 2003 (a project file based structure where all code in the
project is compiled into a single assembly) but with all the new features
of VS 2005 (refactoring, class diagrams, test development, generics, etc)
and ASP.NET 2.0 (master pages, data controls, membership/login, role
management, Web Parts, personalization, site navigation, themes, etc).

You can find more information about it here: http://webproject.scottgu.com/

Hope this helps. Please feel free to post here if anything is unclear.

Looks interesting. I've downloaded but yet to try it.

In the meantime, I've used the New Website route as per normal.

Thanks
