In Visual Studio 2022, the following error message is sometimes generated when scaffolding a controller:

If the .NET Framework project and item templates are not installed, the error mentioned earlier will occur.

How to address the problem:

• Run the Visual Studio Installer

• Select Modify

• In the right-side tab expand ASP.NET and web development

• Check .Net Framework project and item templates

Note: If the error reoccur, update the NuGet packages installed, then re-try the scaffolding.
