Starting an MVC4 basic template project

Question

I'm trying to start a new MVC4 C# project using the basic template, when I debug the project I get the "The resource cannot be found" error, how would I fix this so I just shows a blank page I can work on?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You need to add Controllers and View pages to just show something!

Add HomeController : Controller file

public string Index()
{
return "Hello";
}

if you run now, you will be able to see hello on the page

Answer 2

The "Basic" template does not have any controllers or views in it. You have to create at least a HomeController and an associated view for a page to be displayed. If you want an example application to start from that has something to view without adding anything choose the "Internet Application" template. It creates a default HomeController and and Index view as well as account logon pages.
