scaffolding views from controllers (model already exists)

Question

I have a c# MVC 4 Web app with code first models and controllers which i done manually.

Is there a quick way of scaffolding views from the controllers? or do i need to code it manually?

Answer 1

If you have controller with action that returns data as list or other type then do the following.

1. right click on the action name
2. click on Add view
3. check mark on "Create a strongly typed view"
4. select your "Model class" from drop down
5. select list/as you need from "scaffold template" dropdown
6. click on add button

This will generate a view with all the attributes from your selected model
