    Visual Studio dialogue discrepancy

    Dear All

    Can anyone explain why on some machines, when I choose to add a new item to
    a web site in VS 2008, I get the traditional dialogue that shows the
    checkbox for choose a master page and on others I get the choice of a
    Content Web Page instead?

    Thanks

      Re: Visual Studio dialogue discrepancy

      Is this the same project being opened on several machines, where some
      machines will give you the option and some wont ?

      Are you sure you are selecting new webcontent form and not webform in each
      case.

              It has happened with the same project but it's consistent across machines.
              Some always show one option, some the other.

                  Re: Visual Studio dialogue discrepancy

                  Well, clearly there is some difference between the two.

                  1.)Do you have the same versions of Visual Studio ( IE ALl professional, etc
                  Not Professional Express , CTP, BETA )

                  2.) Are they all patched to the latest hotfix's, service packs.

                  3.) Are the templates there for the webcontent forms in the machines which
                  dont offer the options.

                  4.) Have you tried re-installing Visual Studio on the ones which dont work ?

                  5.) Have you tried a directory/file comparison , there are free utulities
                  which can check this for you.


                  Sorry I dont have an explicit answer, but some detective work is probably
                  needed here, a bit of basic deduction.

                      I believe they are the same, Visual Studio Team Suite, I'm not prepared to
                      uninstall, I'm just curious, the same functionality is offered just in a
                      different fashion. I also did a few of the Hands on Labs at the Visual
                      Studio launch in March, the same thing happened there, some showed one
                      dialogue others the alternative. In theory these were all running identical
                      VPC versions of VS 2008.
                      I'm going to ask the Visual Studio development team.

                          !Can anyone explain why on some machines, when I choose to add a new item to

                          Are you adding a new item from the Solution Explorer, or from the "File", "New File" menu ?

                          If you're adding from the "File", "New File" menu, you won't get a masterpage prompt at all.

                          It sounds like you're adding a new item from the Solution Explorer.

                          If you are adding a new item from the Solution Explorer,
                          you should select a "Content Web Page" template.

                          In that case, you will always be prompted for the masterpage selection
                          whether you have one, or more than one, masterpage created.

                          Also, if you are adding a new item from the Solution Explorer, and if you
                          select a "Web Form" template, you won't get prompted for masterpage selection.

                          That's essentially the same as using the "File", "New File" menu choice.

                              Fair enough Joe.

                              I wish I could give you a gem which would help you but I simply dont know
                              the answer, just the approach I would take.

                              I would be interested to learn what the problem was though if you do get a
                              good answer fromt he VS Development Team.

                              Good Luck - Rain.

                              I believe they are the same, Visual Studio Team Suite, I'm not prepared to
                              uninstall, I'm just curious, the same functionality is offered just in a
                              different fashion. I also did a few of the Hands on Labs at the Visual
                              Studio launch in March, the same thing happened there, some showed one
                              dialogue others the alternative. In theory these were all running
                              identical VPC versions of VS 2008.
                              I'm going to ask the Visual Studio development team.
