Getting started with the APIs

I have installed Visual studio Community 2015 and the SDL SDK. But when I start VS I can see no SDL templates. Is there a very basic guide to getting it all set up.

  • Can you please let me know if you first installed Visual Studio or the SDL SDK? Also what operating system are you using? In theory this should just work as we tested the SDK with the Community Edition. You can also download already created empty projects from here.

  • I remember when installing templates for VS Visual Basic there was also a problem installing the templates for the AutoCAD SDK, they too did not show up when creating a new project. The problem there was that that my computers are running German operating systems with a language code of 1031 and not the 1033 for English. The solution then was to create copies of the template directory but rename it 1031. Then a few lines of code had to be changed in the *.vsdir and *.vsz files and then it worked. But I can't find any such files for C#.

    Could the language code be a problem?
