Add Controller/View menu not shown in MVC 5 project

Question

Recently I have faced problem in my MVC 5 project. When I right click on controller folder and select Add option from menu then Controller option is missing. Menu's were in the past, but don't know why menu is not showing now.

What could be the cause of this.

Answer 1

Later I found that reference added in my project for system.web.mvc.dll is for version 4.0.0. When I remove this dll and add reference of system.web.mvc.dll of verion 5.2.2.0 that solved my problem.

Now menu start appearing on right click System.Web.MVC.dll for MVC 5 can be found at the path " C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft ASP.NET\\ASP.NET Web Stack 5\\Packages\\Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.5.2.2\\lib\\net45 "
