    Hey there! (I am using Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition)
    I was facing the same problem.
    the solution to this was modifying the packages in Visual Studio - and adding - ASP.NET Web Application (.NET Framework) package.

    Please follow the steps below:

    Go to File
    New project
    Scroll down, at last, you'll see - Not finding what are you looking for
    go to Install More tools and Features

    it will open Visual Studio Installer

    go to Modify
    Go to INdividual packages Tab
    Search For: " .NET Framework project and item templates " and mark the checkbox.
    Install the packages

    Installing .NET Framework project and item templates ask for 1.6GB of space requirement,
    which might be the reason for not being included by default in the first place during the Visual Studio 2022 installation.

    It should solve your problem
    Regards,
    Hritthik

    For whatever is worth. I could not find ASP.NET Web Application (.NET Framework), when I tried to update to add .NET Framework project and item templates using the Individual components tab of Visual Studio installer I could not find it anywhere.

    I then uninstalled ASP.NET and web development and reinstalled it. During the reinstall process I could see .NET Framework project and item templates so I selected and it all seems to work just fine.

    I am using Visual Studio 2022

    I hope this helps you!

    Starting from Visual Studio 2019, Microsoft has made changes to the project templates, and the "ASP.NET Web Application (.NET Framework)" template is no longer available by default. However, you can still create a similar project using the following steps:

    1. Open Visual Studio.
    2. Click on "Create a new project" or go to "File" -> "New" -> "Project".
    3. In the "Create a new project" dialog, search for "ASP.NET Web Application" in the search box.
    4. Select the "ASP.NET Web Application" template.
    5. In the next dialog, choose the version of .NET you want to target (e.g., .NET Framework 4.x).
    6. Select the desired project template, such as "Empty", "Web Forms", or "MVC".
    7. Choose the project settings and click "Create" to create the project.

    Note that while the specific "ASP.NET Web Application (.NET Framework)" template may not be available, you can still create web applications targeting the .NET Framework using the provided templates like "Empty", "Web Forms", or "MVC". These templates provide a starting point for building your web application with C# in the .NET Framework.

    Here's a comment you can use:


    "I had the same issue recently while working on a project in Visual Studio. To create an ASP.NET Web Application (.NET Framework) with C#, ensure that you’ve selected the correct workload during the installation of Visual Studio. You need to include the ‘ASP.NET and web development’ workload. If it’s missing, you can modify your installation from the Visual Studio Installer.

    Also, when selecting the project type, make sure to choose 'Web' under C# templates. If it's still not visible, double-check your installed SDKs and frameworks to ensure compatibility.

    By the way, while figuring this out, I took a much-needed break and stumbled upon an interesting resource about Menu offerings at some amazing restaurants. It’s worth checking out if you enjoy exploring great dining options!"
