Where's all the templates

G'day

I've been following along with Bob and his Learn Visual Basic.net video tutorials but I'm stuck on lesson 6.

His first example involves using a class template however my Visual Basic Express edition hasn't got that one, or several others he has - Dialog, Explorer Form, MDI Parent Form, About Box, Splash Screen, Module, Data Series, SQL Database, User Control and Text File.

I have installed SQL Server Express & SQL Server Management Express.

Even his Windows Form template on mine is called Windows Application

Are we using different versions or is somewhere I can get these extra Visual Studio Templates

Appreciate any help given.  Cheers

    Yeah you were spot on mate.

    I wasn't watching closely what he was doing at the time.  As you suggested, he was creating a new item, not a new project, and all the templates are in there.

    Appreciate your help.  Cheers

    Bob uses Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition Beta. Though both the Beta and Release both contain these wizards.

    In your project, go to the Projects Menu, Add Class.

    You will then be presented with the Add New Item Dialog.

    If you haven't got it there, make sure you have the latest version 8.0.50727.42.

    Hope this helps...
