How can I choose a Visual C# class template in Visual Studio 2019?

Question

I am trying to commence building an ASP.NET web application with Visual Studio 2019. I have VS Community installed with 'ASP.NET and web development' and '.NET desktop development' packages installed. The following is a screenshot of my 'Workloads' tab:

After installing I selected Create a New Project and selected 'ASP.NET Web Application'.

With the project and the folder tree displaying in the solution explorer (right hand side), I left clicked on 'Controller' folder and selected New -> Class. I wanted to select a Class template for Visual C# but instead can only see Visual Basic options listed. How can I source a Visual C# class template, and is there an installation step that I might have missed along the way?

Thanks,

Answer 1

Ultimately, pay special attention to the template, as they somewhat can overlap.

I'm drawn arrows and circles around the key points.

The below is what shows up when you do a New Project.

There are filters like "Language" and "Platforms" and "Project Types" that may be filtering out your desired. Pick "All, All, All" to make sure this is not happening.

If you are trying to create a C# project, make sure you select the correct project template.

You can create a asp.net web application with either c# (which gives you .cs files) or visual Basic (that works with .vb files).

Make sure to select the correct c# template.
