Cannot find ble examples in Visual Stuido Code when selecting start from template

Question

Hello All, 
 
 Please help me how to start a new project from the template and select BLE examples in Visual Studio Code (VSC). I searched from the drop-down menu all the way and had no success. 
 Can you explain to me how can find them and select them for the basis of the new project in VSC?

Hi, 
 You are mixing up both the SDKs. We support two SDKs - nRF5 SDK and the nRF Connect SDK . 
 The SDK 17.1.0 etc are the nRF5 SDK, which is the old SDK. We currently recommend using the nRF Connect SDK. 
 The naming fro ble samples are different in both SDKs. The nRF Connect SDK is Zephyr RTOS based and you can find bluetooth samples under nrf as well as zephyr folders:

You can type the name of any of these samples in VSC and use. Also, you are currently seeing the ble samples in VSC.
