I'm attempting to create a Custom Scaffold Extension for .NET Framework and Visual Studio 2019. I do not want to overwrite the default MVC T4 templates. I'm trying to do something like:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=robinliks.HappyScaffoldingforMVC5
I've found plenty of articles detailing the process for older versions of VS to include the SideWaffle projects but nothing that works with 2019.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
We are developing an ASP.Net MVC project and some of my co-workers are working on Mac OS. I have installed Visual Studio Code and ASP.Net Helper along with the C#. I have copied the whole project to Mac but the problem is it is not seeing my project refrence file, let's say MyProject.dll. When i add it on the Windows with generic VS, IntelliSense is completing automatically bringing the functions that i wrote.
All i need is adding a refrence and using IntelliSense for my functions on VisualStudio code. Is there anyway to achive that?
Visual Studio Code doesn't support ASP.NET MVC projects. You can load them and view files but you will not be able to use Intellisense, build or debug such projects. If you want your co-workers to use VS Code as the IDE under Mac consider migrating your project to ASP.NET Core.
I recently applied Update 5 to Visual Studio 2013 (Ultimate Edition) running on Windows 8.1. After the update, any time I try to create a Razor View (*.cshtml) file in my MVC application using scaffolding, I get the following error:
There was an error running the selected code generator:
The Templates\PackageVersion5.1.3.xml file is missing from the
installed template folder
From the error, it is clear that some file (PackageVersion5.1.3.xml) is missing but I'm not sure how to fix it. I even repaired Visual Studio but to no avail.
As yoo probably know during scaffolding your view is generated base on this missing xml file. I don't know why your file is not there but you can copy it from one of your colleagues computer or reinstall visual studio.
Maybe you have change something i VS options?
I avoid the scaffolding options in Visual Studio.
Why? In my experience, the standard MVC pattern where everything separated by type will always led to a difficult to manage and test solution.
Instead, I now prefer to organise MVC projects by feature (http://timgthomas.com/2013/10/feature-folders-in-asp-net-mvc/).
I have implemented Nwazet commerce module & related functionality inside the Web matrix. now there are many changes required in implementation so need to work out in the visual studio. Now in visual studio i have just copied my implemented module of Web matrix and paste it in visual studio modules also applied DB related changes as well with the theme related changes also but it causes too many issues at the time of loading. also try to convert project in visual studio with upper ribbon available in Web Matrix with the option of Visual Studio Launch but it also gives error related to visual studio 2010 shell.
For some reason my Visual Studio 2013 Preview cannot create MVC 5 Projects. Since the MVC project is now open source in CodePlex I was wondering if there's a simple way to develop MVC 5 projects in my Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate.
Microsoft has released updated Web Tools 2013.1 that provide the support:
Description
Direct download
Note that I had to install it manually from the second link, the tools did not install properly from Web Platform Installer. Also a colleague had to install both Update 4 and these tools to get proper support.
Original answer (not actual anymore):
I received this answer from Microsoft developer:
MVC 5/Razor 3 tooling support for VS 2012 has not shipped yet. We hope to ship this support in Mid November.
Recently ASP.NET Program Manager from Microsoft mentioned in a talk that this would be included in VS2012 Update 4. Edit: unfortunately the support is not in Update 4.
So the accepted answer is true for now but we can plan to soon have this support in VS2012 as well.
A new tutorial has been recently added to the ASP.NET website on how to upgrade an MVC4 project to MVC5.
I migrated a VS 2012 project using this tutorial without problems, but there is no design time support for Razor 3 in VS2012 due to changes in the way VS loads the razor engine.
You can edit razor pages in VS2012, but it will be a plain HTML editor.
Microsoft has released an update for this, Web Tools 2013.1 for VS2012.

I'm not sure MS will fix it.
The bug report says problem closed : by design

I have a tutorial that will not only get your empty MVC 5 project working with Bundling, a controller, jQuery, jQuery UI, Modernizr and more, but it will walk you through installing Zurb's Foundation 5, a responsive Framework which I have working with Sass in MVC 5. It's all here:
http://tinyurl.com/VS12-MVC5-F5
The problem many have ran into is that Visual Studio 2012 only allows you to start from a blank MVC 5 project, so I will help you get the NuGet installed which is pretty similar to the instructions in the NuGet package with a few minor changes; however, it does not take into consideration that you will be installing from Visual Studio 2012 using a Blank MVC 5 project. If you would like to use Foundation 5 with MVC 4 Web Application template just omit the Bootstrap uninstall and the NuGet package should work fine, but if you need to use MVC 5 and you don’t have Visual Studio 2013, you will need to build the Home Controller, Bundling class, modify the Global.asax.cs as well as other quirky little things. So lets get started.
I spent a good part of a few hours getting it all working.
