Visual Studio 2015 ASP.NET Core RC2: loss of Custom Item Templates

Question

I use Visual Studio 2015 update 2 Community Edition.

With Visual Studio DotNetCore RC1 tools I had my custom Item Template under DNX section. I can't provide proving screenshot because I already moved to DotNetCore RC2 Tools Preview 1. With the last set of tools I lost my Item Template.

I tried to change ProjectType and ProjectSubType from DNX to CSharp/Web, tried to put component in different places with no success.

The last .vstemplate file has the following content

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<VSTemplate Version="3.0.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/vstemplate/2005" Type="Item">
  <TemplateData>
    <DefaultName>ReactComponent</DefaultName>
    <Name>ReactComponent</Name>
    <Description>ReactComponent</Description>
    <TemplateID>Chandrush.ReactComponent</TemplateID>
    <ProjectType>CSharp</ProjectType>
    <ProjectSubType>Web</ProjectSubType>
    <Icon>__TemplateIcon.ico</Icon>
  </TemplateData>
  <TemplateContent>
    <References />
    <ProjectItem TargetFileName="$fileinputname$\$fileinputname$.tsx" ReplaceParameters="true">ReactComponent.tsx</ProjectItem>
    <ProjectItem TargetFileName="$fileinputname$\package.json" ReplaceParameters="true">package.json</ProjectItem>
    <ProjectItem TargetFileName="$fileinputname$\$fileinputname$.scss" ReplaceParameters="true">ComponentStyle.scss</ProjectItem>
  </TemplateContent>
</VSTemplate>

Do anybody know the solution, to get custom Item Templates back to VS2015u2 with .NetCore RC2 preview1 tools?

This is fixed for me.

Regarding your .vstemplate file, you must have to change these properties :

<ProjectType>DNX</ProjectType>  
<TemplateGroupID>DotNetWeb</TemplateGroupID>

Yes! It helps! Thank you! – Matronage

It does not seems to be working in final NET Core. "DNX" keyword is obsolete now and i dont know what is replacement for final bits of NET Core? – Baroness

This is what works for me: <ProjectType>DNX</ProjectType> <TemplateGroupID>SharedDotNetAndDotNetWeb</TemplateGroupID> – Baroness

Thank you, <TemplateGroupID>SharedDotNetAndDotNetWeb</TemplateGroupID> works for VS 2015 Upd 3 + .NET Core 1.1 – Susquehanna

For VS2017 ASP .NET Core projects works <ProjectType>CSharp</ProjectType><TemplateGroupID>AspNetCore</TemplateGroupID> answer – Zaidazailer
