I had the same issue until I looked into what software I was ACTUALLY using - check to see if you're really using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 - I thought I was until I realized I was using Visual Studio 2008 Shell (integrated mode) which is different.

Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Shell (integrated mode) is part of the SQL Server 2008 Management Studio, so the project types available to it are different than MSVS 2008... Microsoft developed the Shell to have the same look and feel of Visual Studio so users were comfortable and familiar with the layout.

Go to Tools>>Import and Export Settings>>Reset all settings>>Choose yes or no to save current settings>>

Then choose Visual C# Development Settings or General Development Settings.

So that you can have templates you need.

You can reopen your VisualStudio ISO and try to repair or you can install VisualStudio Express to make sure you can install all templates.

My guess is you didn't make a full installation and forgot to install some components.
