Visual Studio 2012“ Visual C＃类”模板位置

Question

I'm currently able to modify the default class template at the following location:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\CSharp\Code\1033\Class

This works great when right-clicking on a project and selecting add -> class .

Though, when adding a class through the File menu item of Visual Studio

File -> New -> File... -> Visual C# Class

The class template appears to not work. I'm assuming it's at a different location from where I've specified above. Where can I find the " Visual C# class " template?

Edit:

class generated from File->New->File... General -> Visual C# class

using System;

public class Class1
{
    public Class1()
    {
    }
}

class generated from right-clicking on project-> Add Clas s

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Class1
    {

    }
}

As you can see, the classes are different all together, which makes me believe that it is using two different templates.

Answer 1

I'm not entirely sure if this is the same with VS 2012, but I think you can tell VS to regenerate the cache using the command devenv /installvstemplates (provided you run the command as administrator).

Answer 2

Not so much as an answer to the where, but to the why...

It looks like File->New->File doesn't use the template, I have tested this and it's the case with VS2010 too. On a side note, why don't you use right-clicking on project-> Add Class ? It works and let's you place the file where you need it to be, note that the other method opens the file, but doesn't add it to the project, merely opens it. Perhaps that's part of the reason why it is such a basic empty class template.

To be honest this is the first time I try the other method you mentioned :)
