Question

I\'m new to the C# MVC project type and when I created an empty C# MVC project, I noticed the following error:

Answer 1

MVC looks for views (like Index) under the views folder but they also have to be under a folder named after their controller (with a few exceptions like partials).

So this is the structure you want to follow in your project

Controllers (folder)
    HomeController (.cs)
    AccountController (.cs)

Views (folder)
    Home (folder)
        Index (.cshtml)
    Account (folder)
        Index (.cshtml)
