Projects in Whidbey

.NET General

Like many I am playing with Whidbey. I was not at the PDC, so my adventure in Whidbeyland is more difficult for me.

I don't get first the idea that when I install Whidbey, I have to chose a profile.

So now naive as I am I asked for Web applications, and now I am stucked. If I want to create a winforms project, how I am supposed to do ?

I can only create or open a Web application. Don't know for others but I rather prefer the VS 2003 method of having a way to create any kind of projects I want.

As I said, I am probably wrong, but I can't find a way to start a vb project other than a web one ;-)

How did you get a copy of Whidbey to play with?

You should have under the File->New menu both a "Project" and a "Web Site" option. Project has all of your winform projects (and more), and Web Site is self explanatory.

I came across this to in the early days of the Alpha. It seems to happen to me everytime I install now. The solution is as follows:

Hit "Ctrl+Shift+N" to create a new project.

If that works, you can go to tools...Customize, click on the "Commands" then drag-and-drop the "Project..." to the "File" on the menu bar.

As a followup, I forgot to mention this has been documented a few times when you select the Web Developer profile during the install.

Scott does it mean I didn't had the PDC dvd version ? Strange, because it's coming from MSDN subscription with Longhorn
