ESRI Silverlight Templates Missing

GregoryDillon — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 21:55:04 GMT

When developing in VS 2008 and 1.3 we used to see several ESRI templates (ESRI Standard Map Application and ESRI Showcase Map Application) when we selected File>New Project. I don't see these options when using VS 2010 and 2.0 (see attachment). Are they missing (or non-existant)? Did we miss something in the install?

Thanks.

Try to install Expression Blend 4.

As a minimum you need the Expression Blend 4 SDK (or the full Expression Blend install) prior to installing the Silverlight API Setup to get the templates.

Installing the Expression Blend for Silverlight 4 SDK and then uninstalling and installing the 2.0 fixed this issue (the modify and repair option don't fix the template issue - you much uninstall/install the API instead).

Its funny both me and my co-worker thought we installed the Expression Blend for Silverlight 4 SDK. Oh well.
