Often looking at a template or just customizing one gives you a great start to getting an application up and going. Here I'm consolidating
a list of template that I know work. Hopefully these will enable you to jumpstart your application development efforts. If you find an issue with a template, or have a suggest for one that I should add, just email me at
jhealy@microsoft.com. Enjoy!
