Why the Item 'Add Web Reference' was removed from VC 2010? - visual-studio-2010

Why the Item 'Add Web Reference' was removed from VC 2010? And we never can add a web reference to a c++ project in VS 2010.
Is there a reference to microsoft reason for removing this item? where?
Can anybody tell me what is the reason? what is it?
thanks.

This is found at the bottom of editor windows in Visual Studio:
What is it called? The editor status bar?
I can't seem to find Visual Studio Extensibility docs on how it can be customised. Can it be customised and if so can someone point me in the right direction?

Visual Studio 2013: "New ASP.NET Project" doesn't show templates to choose from

http://i.stack.imgur.com/k5fN5.jpg
I can't create a new ASP.NET Web Project via template. Clicking on "OK" crashes VS 2013 or shows the error message "Object reference not set to an instance of an object".
I'm using MS Windows 8.1 + Visual Studio 2013 Premium Update 3.
Extensions I am using:
.NET Reflector Pro
Brace Completer
Visual Power Tools
Web Essentials 2013 for Update 3
Maybe someone knows whats going on? I am running VS 2013 as admin. :(
I tried disabling all Extension, doesn't help.
It's a fresh install from MSDN.
Edit:
I just recognized that the templates show up, when I choose a .NET framework below 4.5:

EDIT 2:
Okay, reinstalling didn't help. I also uninstalled everything .NET related.
Okay I found the Problem.
in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies are three assemblies that prevent VS 2013 from showing up the assemblies. See this Question/Answer:

helps me,
Thanks,
Make sure the project is not currently running in debug mode. If it is, press the red button and stop it. Now you can add, just right click on the Controller folder and select Add - Controller.
I have fixed this error:
We need Upgrading an ASP.NET MVC 3 Project to ASP.NET MVC 4
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=317645
!!! READ THIS IF YOU HAVE VISUAL STUDIO 2010 & 2013 VERSIONS INSTALLED !!!!
I ran in to this issue when I opened the project with Visual Studio 2013, I tried going the "Update to MVC4 route" mentioned above, that did not work out as expected. Right there it hit me! "why not open the project with VS 2010, add the controller, then save and resume using 2013?" - I did just that and it worked!. simple right?

"Add as Link" for visual studio 2010 AddIn

I can't figure out how to add a "linked" file to a project "Add as link" programmatically in an AddIn for Visual Studio 2010 - the way you do it via the solution explorer "Add->Existing Item->Add as Link" in visual studio.
Would appreciate some pointers on this.
Thank you!

The Add Existing Item dialog's add button has a down arrow on the right, it subtle. But it will change the Add to "Add as Link"

I migrated project from Visual Studio 2008 to Visual Studio 2010 and Add Web Reference has gone?

I have a project which is coded with Visual Studio 2008. Today I migrated it to Visual Studio 2010 and i saw that i can not see add web reference. How can i get it back?

what you need to do is to click "Add Service Reference" then you will get something as follows:
then click on "Advanced" then you will see an option to
"Add Web Reference"
Hope it works for you
