I am trying to add a new Web Forms project to an existing solution. However, when I choose .NET 3.5, the only option available to me is ASP.NET Empty Web Application, there is no choice of creating a WebForms app.
If I choose > v4.5 then it gives me the option.
How should a WebForms application be created under .NET 3.5?
Thanks
With 2015 you can create the ASP.NET Empty project, then use "Add Web Form" from the project menu.
Another option is to install VS 2013. I use VS 2013 through 2017 on the same computer, and the latest version that lets me create a .NET 3.5 WebForms project is 2013. The project template is under "Visual Studio 2012" group under ASP.NET projects.
Its possible that there is a project template pack for 2015/2017 that will give you WebForms and 3.5 but my quick search doesn't show anything.

I'd like to create a MVC web app using ASP.NET and visual basic.
So, in Visual Studio, i've selected the corresponding template project :
In the next screen, why .NET 6.0 is missing (considering that if I select C# project template, .NET 6.0 is selectable) ?
EDIT:
I used Visual Studio Community 2022 up to date.
Here are the choices that i had when filtered to VB and Web project type:
Which version are you using? .NET 6 is only supported in VS 2022.
Another thing: You selected (.NET Framework) project. You have to select (Core)
How can we create ASP.NET WebForm .NET 6 VS 2022 based ASPX pages (.aspx), not razor (.cshtml)?
You can't.
ASPX is from the WebForms (System.Web) part of the .NET Framework. This area was not ported to .NET Core, or to newer versions of .NET (5+), and there are no plans to do so.
For a component-based web development framework, Blazor is the new Microsoft platform. There is a migration guide here which can serve as a starting point, but migrating will be an involved process.
There is no way you can create WebForm project (with .aspx) in .NET 6.
You can use VS 2022 to create a WebForm project if you install .NET Framework 4.8.
I 've downloaded/installed Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition but there is no way to find the ability to create a new ASP.NET Web Application (.Net Framework) using Visual Basic. It looks like i can only develop Windows Desktop Application using it.
Has it been deprecated ? If not how can i bring it back to life?
Run the Visual Studio installer.
Inside the .NET group, below the ".NET Framework 4.8 targeting pack", there is a component named .NET Framework project and item templates and make sure that you have installed it.
Visual Studio 2022 Installer - individual components .in NET group
Hovering over the component, the tooltip describes it as:
Enables .NET Framework project templates, item templates & related
features for .NET Framework development.

I'm confused by the myriad of options for creating a new website in Visual Studio 2015.
In particular, I don't understand the difference between
File > New... Website... ASP.NET Website (Razor v3) and
File > New... Project... ASP.NET Web Application > ASP.NET 4.6.1 Templates > MVC 4
What I'd like is a website that works well with Entity Framework and provides scaffolding to quickly create data entry forms.
It seems MVC 4 provides this, but is there something similar for Razor?
The main difference between the Web Application and the Website is that it will compile the application into a single DLL file at build time. In order to update the project it must be recompiled and the DLL file published for changes to occur.

In Visual Studio 2015, there are templates for asp.net 5 (start site) and asp.net 5 mvc. What is the difference between these two?
Webforms is supposed to be gone so asp.net 5 isn't webforms.
ASP.NET 5 is a new platform including the following features:
New flexible and cross-platform runtime
New modular HTTP request pipeline
Cloud-ready environment configuration
Unified programming model that combines MVC, Web API, and Web Pages
Ability to see changes without re-building the project
Side-by-side versioning of the .NET Framework
Ability to self-host or host on IIS
New tools in Visual Studio 2015
Open source in GitHub
ASP.NET MVC 5 is just the current stable version of the MVC framework based on ASP.NET 4.
I guess you are confusing it with the new ASP.NET MVC 6 which is part of ASP.NET 5.
So basically the template for ASP.NET MVC 5 in Visual Studio 2015 is there for backwards compatibility allowing you to still be able to create MVC applications on the old platform.
First of all its not a thing to compare.
ASP.NET 5 is the latest release of asp.net framework series with lot of new features. And ASp.net MVC is one approach (service/ framework) to develop web application(there are other approaches like web form and website). You can integrate MVC as a service to empty asp.net application and use.
ASP.NET 5 is cross platform also.
It is all packed in Visual studio 2015 where MVC templates are available.
