R – I can’t create New Project on Visual Web Developer 2008 Express

visual studiovisual-studio-expressvisual-web-developer

I can't create New Project on my Visual Web Developer 2008 Express with SP1.
(I can only create New Website)

My colleague has the exact same version (if you go to Help – About) but they can create both New Website and New Project.

I am trying to do this tutorial on MVC that also says that you can do it on Web Developer Express (http://www.asp.net/learn/mvc/tutorial-21-cs.aspx)

How do you enable New Project on Visual Web Developer 2008 Express?

Go to Tools->Import and Export Settings, then "Reset all settings". The New Project menu option then magically appears.

C# – Setting Default Namespace in Visual Web Developer 2008 Express

Visual Web Developer (prior to 2008 SP1) does not support Web Application projects. Default namespace is only available in Web Application projects.

If you really want to add your classes to a namespace, you should do it manually (the namespace surround with code snippet can prove pretty useful) by enclosing them in a namespace statement:

namespace MyDefaultNamespace {
   // original code
}
