Missing the ASP.NET Web Forms Site option

Question

_{Tuesday, May 24, 2016 3:12 AM}

When trying to create a New Web Site using Visual Basics 2015 I do not see the ASP.NET Web Forms Site form. The steps I follow are: Start VS 2015>File>New>Web Site...>Visual Basics. Problem is I do not see ASP.NET Forms Site, I only see ASP.NET(Razor v3) and WFC Service.  I have tried different Frameworks but they all show the same two options. Please help.

Dear sllamas,

Welcome to the MSDN forum.

What’s your VS edition? According to your description, it looks like there have only 2 templates under New web site—Visual Basics, I have checked the installed template of my installed VS community/enterprise 2015 and there have some other templates like ASP.NET Web Form Site as the following screenshot.

Like Reed said, please go to Control Panel—Programs and Features and right-click the VS 2015 item and change-modify, check the option of ‘Microsoft Web Developer Tools’ is selected or not. Once it is unchecked, please select it and click ‘Update’ button to install it.

If this component already installed, please have a try with restore visual studio default templates. You can follow the steps as below:

1. In the command prompt, navigate to the location of devenv.exe. This file is located in <Visual Studio Installation Path>\Common7\IDE.
2. Type "devenv /installvstemplates" and press Enter.

Meanwhile, you can also try to repair VS, please go to Control Panel—Programs and Features and right-click the VS 2015 item and change-repair.

Best regards,

Sara

Do you mean when reaching the below screen, you can't find Webforms template/option:

Please that VS has it own dedicated forum:

You may want to post your question to the ASP.NET Web Forms site:

VS 2015 comes in a variety of products. Some of those products (various express) do not work with ASP.Net.

You make no mention of the VS 2015 product you are using.

Also issues with Visual Studio should be asked in a Visual Studio forum typically.

Run the VS2015 installer again (you can go to Programs and Features (Add Remove Programs), select Microsoft Visual Studio 2015, and choose "Change").

Once the installer loads, select Modify at the bottom. Now in the feature list, ensure that "Microsoft Web Developer Tools" is selected:
