MVC5 using scaffolding for classes from other namespaces (referenced DLL)

Question

Is it possible to use the MVC5 Scaffolding to create a new Controller with View, using EntityFramework if the Models and DbContext classes are not in the same namespace.

I have defined the models and dbcontext in 2 separate libraries (Project.Models and Project.DataAccess) and when entering the Add Controller menu the dropdowns for model and datacontext don't contain the classes I'm trying to use.

I have of course referenced them in the project.

Answer 1

只需确保编译解决方案，然后转到MVC项目并添加对模型和dbcontext项目的引用即可，这应该使您能够在通过脚手架创建控制器或视图时查看模型和dbcontext类。

Answer 2

Sometimes MVC project some how catches the first reference. Even you build/rebuild library model, it doesn't update the MVC project. I got same problem and tried these actions:

1. Unloaded library project and reloaded it into solution
2. Deleted library model reference from MVC project and added again
3. Created DbContext class in Library model project.

Then it worked.
