Getting Started
ASP.NET Templates provide project templates which are used in Visual Studio for creating ASP.NET 5 applications.
This project is part of ASP.NET 5. You can find samples, documentation and getting started instructions for ASP.NET 5 at the Home repo.
How to build
In order to build the templates which include a generated sample of each template, you run the build.cmd script from the root repo folder:
c:\git\Templates [dev]> .\build.cmd
When switching between the dev and release branches or to ensure you have the latest packages, be sure to run 'git clean -xdf' from the root repo folder before building.
The build will compress the templates into multiple zip files which are written to the artifacts\build\ProjectTemplates folder.
These zip archives contain the template content which are included in Visual Studio.
Do not extract the contents of these zips manually to your Visual Studio template folders, doing so can later cause issues when upgrading to a later official build of the templates.
The build also produces samples which are extracted from the generated template content. You can find these generated samples in the artifacts\build\test folder. This generated sample content is also used by the unit tests.
