Error Running the Selected Code Generator - ASP.Net MVC

Malam Malam 226

I am getting the following "generating code" error when creating a Controller using "MVC 5 Controller with Views, using Entity Framework" in Visual Studio 2019. I've tried several solutions to similar problem reported online: Removed .vs folder, cleaned and rebuild, updated the .csproj file manually, downgrades packages etc., but none has resolved the issue.

How do I resolve this issue?

Hi @Malam Malam,

Can you provide the complete error message?

Have you installed Entity Framework?

Perhaps you can check the following document, which has detailed steps on how to use Entity Framework in MVC.

Hi Lan,

Thank you so much for your response.

I was able to figure out the fix for this error. After creating the Model, it needed the project to "Build". I did this by mistake and realize that was the actual fix, repeated the same several times to make sure I don't get the "generating code" error.
