Visual studio 2017 / 2019 add areas missing

Question

While creating a ASP.NET MVC Core Web app using VS2017 / 2019, came across that 'Add Areas' option is missing from Context menu.

Pls add your findings here: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?category=visualstudio They are the creators of VS2017 and will handle all missing features. — Jean-Paul, Apr 11 '17 at 10:44

Area is not removed from VS 2017/19 but it is moved in Scaffolding and you can access the area using below steps:

1) Right click on your project and click on Add>New Scaffolded Item

2) After click choose the MVC area from the Menu:

3) After choosing give it Name, and after this the Area will be added to your project:

Hope it will helps.

yes everything has to be done manually, like creating creating folders of 'views', 'controller' etc etc which will be hectic task. – Akshay Chawla Apr 17 '17 at 14:12

I had missing Area on context menu. However, after building the project (2x) the Area was again visible on context menu.
