Missing MVC pattern in Visual Studio 2015

Question

When I create a new web project with Visual Studio, I only see the templates in the image below:

There is no MVC, so I can only create empty projects.

I tried repairing Visual Studio, but no luck.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

It just appeared the same problem after installing Microsoft ASP.NET Developer Tools and Web Tools 2015 (Beta7) . I tried reinstalling ASP.NET project templates , but that did not help.

Studying "Add / Remove Programs" → "Visual 2015" → "Change," I found that "Tools for Web Developers" are not checked. This SO answer helps me figure this out.

After reinstalling, everything appears again

Answer 2

Just click “Internet” in the left sidebar and select “ASP.NET Web Application”, click “OK” and you will see the following dialog box:

Now you can choose the type of web application that you want.

Answer 3

I'm going to add my 2 cents in case someone is in a position like mine. I was also looking for the MVC project type and could not see it. All I saw is the Web Application Project. So I got scared and rushed to all the solutions listed on this page.

But.

THIS IS STRONGLY.

Just go in with the Web Application project and it will give you the MVC option in the next step.

Answer 4

Visual studio 2015 does not display the MVC project template if you select .Net 4.0 or lower. Select .Net 4.5 or higher and you can see the MVC project.

This is what was shown when choosing the .NET Framework 4:

and this is when choosing the .NET Framework 4.5:

However, make sure that you have installed the tools for web developers. To do this, go to "Add / Remove Programs" → "Visual 2015" → "Change" → Web Developer Tools: check and continue the installation.

Answer 5

I don't think the accepted answer works anymore. According to Microsoft here , here , and here , asp.net-5 has been renamed ASP.Net Core . It looks like they have removed asp.net-5 templates from the general ASP.Net Web Application project type. But now there is a new type of project ASP.NET Core Web Application. I don’t see the MVC pattern for this type of project, but I don’t think the Core framework is fully released.

Answer 6

I had the same problem with an MVC pattern that does not appear in VS2015.

I tested the web developer tools during the initial installation. It was still checked when trying to change the installation. I tried unchecking and updating the installation, but the next time I returned to Modify, it was still checked. And not yet an MVC pattern.

I started by uninstalling: Microsoft ASP.NET Web Frameworks and Tools 2015 through the Programs and Features windows and reinstalling. Here is a link for those who do not have it.

Answer 7

In my case, this happened when I removed AspNet 5 RC1 Update 1 to update it for .Net Core 1.0 RC2. so I installed the update for Visual Studio 2015 2, the selected Microsoft Web Developer tools, and everything returned to normal.

Answer 8

For me, I have not seen any of the MVC templates (except the bottom two), after installing Update 3, which installed all of the Core materials.

Decision

I uploaded the latest preview ...

This prompted me to "restore", and after it was done, the appearance of VS showed that it was "Installing Templates", and they appeared!

Warning

Update 3 is a game in which the “preferred” way of doing things is to use dotnetcore. For example, the console application now uses the new file structure; other projects, such as Test Project, still use the same folder structure as before. But MVC has changed. I'm not even sure that other Web Development Tools work with dotnetcore right now.

Answer 9

write this in the nuget Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc -Version 5.2.3 console Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc -Version 5.2.3

Answer 10

Visual Studio 2015 (community update 3, in my scenario) uses the default template for the MVC project. You do not need to choose it.

I found this tutorial and I think it answers the question: https://docs.asp.net/en/latest/tutorials/first-mvc-app/start-mvc.html
