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

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.

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.

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.
