Setting up MVC in Asp.Net Core

We have so far seen samples of how to display Hello World text in the browser from Asp.Net core, rendering a static HTML page from Asp.Net core etc. Let us now move on a little further to setup MVC in the Asp.Net Core application. Follow the below steps to create a basic MVC project using Asp.Net Core

Ø  Open Visual studio (I am using VS 2017) and select new Project.

Ø  Select Web -> .Net Core

Ø  Select Asp.Net Core web application

Ø  Provide a name (Hello MVC) and path and click OK

Ø  In the templates select Web Application (Model-View-Controller) and click OK

Ø  This will create a basic MVC project with one Controller and View

The project structure looks like this.

We can build and run the application, the MVC template creates us the basic files required to run the example without writing a single line of code. Build and run the Project and the output should be as follows.
