Visual Studio 2005 Starter Kits

No one is biting on templates or starter kits yet.... There has to be something more people need. A few exist here on MSDN, but let's dream.

Link to Visual Studio 2005 Starter Kits

Does anyone have ideas of what would be useful? Are any of these almost there, but need some new features? What are those features? What technologies would be good to take advantage of?

Hey Steve,

I was hoping others would comment since I haven't seen any templates floating around over the past few years. I like the idea of the starter kits and have dabbled with the ones that are available just to see how things are done but I've never used them as a starting point to create my own.

How about a template for creating a Plug-in for Windows Live Writer or other ideas along the same line.

Then again, ideas for the new .NET 3.0 Framework would probably be better. I haven't played with it enough to offer any insight so maybe someone else can step up. Has there been a updated version of a Screen Saver template that uses WPF? 3/27/2007 8:17 AM | Jason Row

I have a "megarequest" for a template: a comprehensive work order request system (in this example - the I.S. Department).

It would probably be best to run it as a web application. The user would log into the site, create a work order request, which would be marked as a pending item. An e-mail would be sent to the user's supervisor (on record when the person creates their profile the first time they log in).

If the supervisor replies with a "yes" vote, the project will go to the I.S. Department manager for final consideration regarding opening it, assigning it to another member of his/her staff etc. Once a reply is given, if assigned, the assignee staff would be notified. Perhaps an Outlook task could be assigned as well.

Most importantly, the data regarding the projects (based on their assumed priorities, urgencies, etc.) would be exported to a Microsoft Project file, available for viewing by all users on the web, which would enable appropriate scheduling, and let people know how their project is going, and when they expect it to be completed.

Comments and questions could be posted in a bulletin board fashion. Statistics regarding open and closed projects would be available.

This would require a lot of db setup, interfacing with mailmessaging, microsoft outlook, and project.

Simple, right?
