Creating a Sample Project
After you've installed Visual Studio 2012 Update 2, you're ready to start building HTML5 apps with Visual Studio LightSwitch.
Selecting File > New Project in Visual Studio 2012 gives you two options (see Figure 2):
- Creating a LightSwitch application. This option starts adding a Silverlight desktop client to the project—this is the project template you've been using to this point. Choose this template if you need to create a solution with both clients. You can add the HTML client later by right-clicking the project name in Solution Explorer and selecting Add Client. You'll also use this command if you want to add the HTML client to an existing solution.
- Creating a LightSwitch HTML application. Choose this option if you want to start a new HTML-based application without the Silverlight client (this can eventually be added with the steps described above).

When the new project is ready, LightSwitch asks you to specify your data as the first task. The next section describes this process.
