ASP.NET WebForms is silently removed from Visual Studio 2022 Preview 4.1
-
Yesterday, I performed a clean new installation of Visual Studio 2022 Preview 4.1 on my new pc. Well, I find it interestingly that "ASP.NET Web Application (.NET Framework)" (which refers to webforms) is not available in the project type. I still can open existing ASP.NET webforms projects, but however, if I want to add a new .aspx page, it's not available too. Before this, the webforms project type is available in 2022 Preview 4, and I'm doing the development of webforms and it's working fine. but now webforms seems to disappear in 2022 Preview 4.1. ========== Update Oct 17th, 2021 Ok guys, you still can do ASP.NET webforms in Visual Studio 2022 Preview. It's just that, ASP.NET webforms project elements are listed as optional item. Below are the "optional" items (under ASP.NET section) that you need to manually select it to install while installing Visual Studio 2022.
- .NET Framework project and item templates
- .NET Framework 4.8 development tools
- .NET Framework 4.6.2-4.7.1 development tools
- Additional project templates (previous versions)

Sounds like something to raise with Microsoft for them to add to their pile of ignore.

Relax, they just renamed it. Design your Web Forms apps with Web Live Preview in Visual Studio 2022 - Visual Studio Blog[^] [...] this is not a Web Forms project, but instead it’s an ASP.NET Razor Pages project.

They should name it back, and take everyone involved in the change out behind building 8 and fire them.

Sooo, fire them as in 'you're fired', or set them on fire, or use a firing squad :doh:
Thar's only two possibilities: Thar is life out there in the universe which is smarter than we are, or we're the most intelligent life in the universe. Either way, it's a mighty sobering thought. (Porkypine - via Walt Kelly)

That's why I said take them out behind building 8, so the other employees are left wondering. That way the same mistake is never repeated.

Maybe, but then there's economic realities and legacy considerations.
