retrieving XML data with SQLXML (can't find Console Application Template)

  • I am struggling with the practice exercise 'Use SQLXML to Query the UniversalLog Table', that is in Ch8 Lesson3 of the MS 70-431 MCTS book.

    step 3 states: Create a console application in Visual Studio 2005 to execute the XPATH query directly against the annotated XSD schema or through the XML view file.

    step 4: To create a console application, open Visual Studio...

    step 5: In the New Project dialog box, select Console Application template and click OK.

    There isn't a Console Application template listed.

    I tried looking in the locations mention in the following pasted post, but still couldn't find it.

    "Visual Studio Templates

    How to: Locate and Organize Project and Item Templates

    The second articles shows where the project templates will be installed:

    <VisualStudioInstallDir>\Common7\IDE\ProjectTempla tes\Language\Locale\

    For example, the following directory contains all of the Visual Studio project templates for English:

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\VisualBasic\1033\

    if you are using VB.NET 2005 Express:

    <VisualStudioInstallDir>\Common7\IDE\VBExpress\Pro jectTemplates\Language\Locale\

    For example, the following directory contains all of the Visual Studio project templates for English:

    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\VBExpress\ProjectTemplates\VisualBas ic\1033\

    If a compressed file that includes a .vstemplate file exists in these locations, a template will appear in the New Project or Add New Item dialog boxes as appropriate. In your case look for ConsoleApplication.zip. If it's not there, try reinstalling."

    Thanks for your help,

  • Possibly you didn't install all of the components of VB Studio when you did the install? I looked in my new project install templates view and it is there. I would try to re-install the templates from your VB Studio by using add remove programs or just putting the install disks that you used and making sure that you have selected all of the components to run from your hard drive.
