Question

I am working on an ASP.NET MVC project and so far I had no problems with scaffolding any type of items until now.

Every time I want to create a new controller or vie

Answer 1

I tried it all and finally found a solution that worked, this issue only happens when the web.config file is open in the editor. Hope this help.
