Using VS 2022 not able to create module in IOT Edge project

Hello @Deepak Singh Rawat [DKSR] ,

welcome to this moderated community forum.

This is by design. The template should be used in combination with the Visual Studio Code tooling as seen in the prerequisites.

Visual Studio Code is more focused on folders instead of Visual Studio solutions and projects.

Personally, the VS Code editor is more than sufficient for building and deploying Azure IoT Edge modules.

If you really want to use Visual Studio, start a new project using the available IoT template found in Visual Studio, using the Azure IoT Edge tools for VS2022 extension:

I'm having this same issue, the template is not working and is not possible to add a new module using the template. I followed all the instructions and is still not working properly.

Is there any solution for using Visual Studio 2022 for creating edge modules?

Thanks

The Azure IoT Edge tools for Visual Studio extension is missing the project templates for C and C# modules. We are working to resolve the issue. If you can't create IoT Edge modules using the extension, use the following workaround.

Download the following files and place them in the listed Visual Studio template directory:

Hi @Deepak Singh Rawat [DKSR],

There is a workaround for this. You can import projects into Visual Studio created from the following commands.

1. Install docker
   1. Download and install Docker Desktop from Docker Desktop: The #1 Containerization Tool for Developers | Docker 
   2. Use WSL 2 instead of Hyper-V" option on the Configuration page is either selected or not selected based on the preferred backend. 
   3. Follow the instructions on the installation wizard to authorize the installer and proceed with the installation. 
   4. When the installation is successful, select Close to complete the installation process. 
2. Download and install Azure CLI from https://aka.ms/installazurecliwindows 
3. Install the latest Azure CLI 
4. Run the command: az extension add --name azure-iot
5. Download and install Python from Download Python | Python.org 
6. Run the command: pip install iotedgedev
7.  Run the command: iotedgedev new edgesolution (or) iotedgedev solution init --template csharp 
8. Run the command: iotedgedev iothub setup
9. Start the container
   1. docker run -it -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -v c:/temp/iotedge:/home/iotedge microsoft/iotedgedev 
10. Add modules to IoT Edge solution 
    1. iotedgedev add <module-name--template <template> 
11. Build IoT Edge module images 
    1. iotedgedev build
12. Setup IoT Edge simulator
    1. iotedgedev setup 
13. Start the IoT Edge simulator to run the solution 
    1. iotedgedev start (or) iotedgedev start --setup --file config/deployment.amd64.json 
14. Monitor messages sent from IoT Edge Simulator to IoT Hub 
    1. iotedgedev monitor 
15. Stop the IoT Edge simulator
    1. iotedgedev stop
16. Push IoT Edge module images 
    1. iotedgedev push
