Add controller option is missing in Visual Studio 2015

Question

I am using Visual studio 2015 and after opening an existing project, I am not able to see the add controller option while right clicking on the Controller Folder. Please help.

Answer 1

I had the same problem on my ASP.NET project in VS2015. I solved by installing Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.Tools. It doesn't appear in NuGet Manager so you have to install with Package Manager Console: Install-Package Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.Tools -Version 1.0.0-preview2-final -Pre

Hope it helps

Answer 2

• Open VS2015=>TOOLS=>Customize
• Select Commands
• Select Context menu
• Select Project and Solution Context Menus|Folder|Add
• Check that 'Controller' appears.
• IMPORTANT - Move up Controller item to the top.
