In this article, you learn how to quickly create a new project in Visual Studio from a template.
Select a template type
On the Create a new project dialog, a list of your recently selected templates appears on the left. The templates are sorted by most recently used.
If you're not selecting from the recently used templates, you can filter all available project templates by Language (for example, C# or C++), Platform (for example, Windows or Azure), and Project type (for example, Desktop or Web). You can also enter search text into the search box to further filter the templates, for example, asp.net.
Add another project to a solution
If you want to add another project to a solution, right-click the solution node in Solution Explorer and then select Add > New Project.
