Visual Studio 2019 - Incorrect Namespace when adding a new page

Question

User1545552040 posted

Hi everyone

In visual studio 2019, when I try to add a new razor page (new scaffolded item) after creating a model, the namespace is not right as I want. the namespace does not contain the folders name between the project name and the individual files. the expected namespace should be "RDAccounting.Pages.Products", but the automatically generated namespace is just "RDAccounting".  Its not including the folder(s)

The file structure generated automatically as follows.

RDAccounting(the solution name)

     -Pages

            -Products

                    -Create.cshtml

                    -Delete.cshtml

                    -Details.cshtml

                    -Edit.cshtml

                    -Index.cshtml

I have to manually correct the namespace of the page everytime i add a new page to include the folder structure or else the namespace would clash.

Im using Visual studio 2019(latest update) and .net core 2.2.  I'm not having this kind of error before but 2 days ago, i reformatted my machine and reinstalled VS2019... and now the issue is happening. 

Does anyone have a solution on this? 

Many thanks.

You could reset your visual studio settings like below:

This may not be relevant to your problem but there is an issue with EF on VS2019.

Someone at Microsoft suggested I use the preview versions.

Hi Sam,

I already tried resetting the settings but the issue still persist. Thanks for your response.

It seems, the Visual studio team acknowledged the issue and have a fix on it already but not yet release to the public.
