    public HomeController(ApplicationDbContext db)
    {
        this.db = db;
    }

Then create your methods like Index, Create and so on, and create the views with right-clicking and "Add view..." for each. Scaffold your views with the list, create, whatever template that is appropriate and choose the ApplicationUser as an model.

Important: Delete the entry in "Data context class", or you will get a similar error again. But if you leave the "Data context class" empty, the scaffolding of the view will work out fine.
