Hello,

I have just noticed that when I choose to add a new item in VS2005,
there's no option to add a .cs file to the web site. It doesn't metter
which folder is selected when I click Ctrl-N, there's no option for
adding a class file.

I tried running "devenv /installvstemplates" based on advice I saw in
another forum, but this didn't help.

I know I can just add a text file and change the extension, but I would
be interested to know why this is happening, and how I can fix it.

TIA

Try resetting your development settings.

"Tools", "Import and Export Settings", "Reset All Settings".

Save your current settings, if you want to,
and choose "Web Development Settings" as the final choice.

Thanks Juan, but it didn't help. I still don't have the option to add a
class file.

Any other ideas? Thanks again

under program files\microsoft visual studio 8\web\WebNewFileItems

you will find a template file folder for csharp, vb and vjsharp

inside are the template files for each language. somehow you are missing
the c# one (did you skip installing C#).

switching to web application won't help as it uses the same template files.

re:

If the OP can create a C# project, he must have installed C#.

Maybe the project is a VB.NET project ?
No C# class file can be added, if that's the case.

If C# support is installed, and the project is a C# project,
and the template files are in VsInstallDir\web\WebNewFileItems,
he should regain the ability to add C# files by resetting VS's web settings.

This also fixes a slew of other issues such as certain nonresponsive keyboard
keys and so on.

Nope, there is a file called Class.cs right there.

Nope, I only use C#, and have done so ever since installing VS2005.

Thanks anyway
