Visual Studio 2022 - Visual Basic ASP.NET Web Application

Question

I've downloaded/installed Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition, but there is no way to find the ability to create a new ASP.NET Web Application (.Net Framework) using Visual Basic. It looks like I can only develop Windows Desktop Application using it.

Has it been deprecated? If not, how can I bring it back to life?

Answer 1

Run the Visual Studio installer. Inside the .NET group, below the ".NET Framework 4.8 targeting pack", there is a component named .NET Framework project and item templates and make sure that you have installed it.

Visual Studio 2022 Installer - individual components .in NET group

Hovering over the component, the tooltip describes it as:

Enables .NET Framework project templates, item templates & related features for .NET Framework development.
