VB WPF .NET Core 3.0 missing from New Project dialog

[chrisforte]

I have the ability to create a new C# WPF .NET core project, but not a Visual Basic project.

(Using Visual Studio 2019 latest preview and .NET core 3.0 preview 5)

I've added the template for dotnet new in #538, and it will be available in preview 6. But I don't know where to add a Visual Studio template.

@Berrysoft, I suspect that the missing piece is under https://github.com/dotnet/templates/tree/master/src/Templates/DotnetCore

[Berrysoft]

@vatsan-madhavan Thanks. It seems that the template has been added.😁

@Berrysoft It seems that the template has been added.😁

Am I missing something, or is the template still not available in Visual Studio 2019? It's not appearing in the New Project dialog, and dotnet new doesn't list a VB template for any WPF projects. 😕

Is there something that I've forgotten to install?

[Berrysoft]

@reduckted Is there something that I've forgotten to install?

No. The VB template was removed from .NET Core 3.0 SDK in #1735 because of #1734 .

[reduckted]

Well that's disappointing. I've just manually created a .NET Core WPF project and it's functioning quite well, so I'm not sure what the problems could be. But this isn't really the place to discuss that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks for pointing that out though 😄 👍

@reduckted try using a daily build of the .NET 5 SDK from dotnet/core-sdk
