Revert C# class template to default one

Question

I have just installed StyleCop 4.5 and default templates have been replaced with some I don't really appreciate right now. How can I revert it to default?

Answer 1

I solved that. There's possibility to revert that changes, because visual has backups for old classes templates.

All templates are placed in folder like this: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\CSharp\Code\1033

After reverting there is one more thing to do, open cmd and enter command: devenv /setup

This will update changes.

Answer 2

Not sure which exact version you are using, but on the latest version (4.6.3.0 which should be equivalent to the latest 4.5 but with R# 6.0 compat) if you rerun the StyleCop installer, you can change the installation including uninstalling the VS templates while leaving the rest of the installation intact.

Answer 3

I had this same problem, but took me a bit to figure out that it was stylecop that had caused my templates to change.(I had not coded in a while after installing the new stylecop version)

Anyways, to fix this issue, I installed the latest version of style cop and then un-installed. They have fixed the later version installer to ensure it reverts your visual studio templates back to the vs default templates.

Finally, I installed the latest version again and during the install I made sure to Exclude updating the visual studio templates.

I hope this helps someone else.
