Hi ThatsIT,

Its not missing there is some other way around to access scaffolding.

Please have a look at the steps below:

In Solution  Explorer, right-click the Controllers folder  and then click Add,  then Scaffold.

In the Add Scaffold dialog box, click MVC 5  Controller - Empty, and then click Add.

Same with Views,

First, create a view folder for the HelloWorld controller. Right click Views, click Add, and then click New Folder.

Name the folder HelloWorld.

Right click the HelloWorld folder and click Add, then click Scaffold.

In the Add Scaffold dialog box, click MVC 5 View - Empty without model

For complete tutorail for above steps please follow the link below:

Hope this cleared your doubt.

Thanks,

When i click add then scaffold, there is nothing in the Add Scaffold dialog box. In VB there is none, in C# there is only one webforms scaffold.

Thanks

Hi ThatsIT,

Have you followed the link for the tutorial or else you will have to reinstall the VS 2013

I unnstalled express and ultimate started working again, but no change. still no scaffolding, just the one webforms scaffold in C#, none in VB.

Is there a nuget package or extention i am missing?

Thanks

Hey have you tried this 

http://nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.AspNet.Scaffolding.WebForms/

It should help.

User-1635195291 posted

I don't thing its for MVC, have a look at this 

PM> Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.Scaffolding.WebForms -Pre

It says webforms.

The same thing happenned to me. The scaffold option appeeared afer I got the updates from nuget. I am running VS 2013 ultimate 12.0.2005.1 REL.

Absolutely no "Scaffolding" option anywhere to be found in VS2013 RTM, sorry. Project is WebApp/C#/MVC I got all the MVC 5 menu options but none of the scaffolding ones. No time to play around with reinstalling 2GB of stuff just to see. Filed under "Does not work, stick to LAMP until next release".

I have the same problems with VS2013 Professional 12.0.21005.1 REL.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times.  Still no "Add Controller" or "Add Scaffold" on the menus.  I'll have to stick with VS2012 until the next update.

User-975167984 posted

Anxiously installed Update 1 to VS2013 Professional.  Still no "Add Controller" or "Add Scaffold" on the menu when I right click on the Controllers folder in my MVC5 project.  Do I have to wait on Update 2?

You should have, i use VB, and it has been there since the RTM
