Can't Add View from Controller in VS 2015 : “There was an error running the selected code generator”

Question

I\'m following a video tutorial where I\'m required to create an empty ASP.NET Web Application with MVC, using Visual Studio 2015, bei

Answer 1

My problem was the Types used in the Model Class.

Using the Types like this:

    [NotMapped]
    [Display(Name = "Image")]
    public HttpPostedFileBase ImageUpload { get; set; }


    [NotMapped]
    [Display(Name = "Valid from")]
    public Nullable Valid { get; set; }


    [NotMapped]
    [Display(Name = "Expires")]
    public Nullable Expires { get; set; }

No longer works in the Code Generator. I had to remove these types and scaffold without them, then add them later.

It is silly, [NotMapped] used to work when scaffolding.

Use the base Types: int, string, byte, and so on without Types like: DateTime, List, HttpPostedFileBase and so on.
