Can`t "add view" from Controller/Action in VS2013

this might be a dumb question:

In previous VS versions, one could "Add View" by right-clicking in the View portion of the code as shown below.

    public ActionResult About()
    {
        ViewBag.Message = "Your application description page.";

        return View();
    }

In VS2013/MVC5 (apparently) this options does not exist. Anyone knows how to find it, or know how to do it?

I noticed some strange behaviors: 1) When I create a new Controller through Scaffold... MVC5 Empty Controller, the corresponding view/folder is not created 2) If I try to Scaffold... MVC5 View, there is no place where one can inform the corresponding Controller

This is weird...

Thanks!!

Was able to fix this today after much searching for: C# MVC5.1.2, EF 6.1.0 in VS2013 Express for Web. Be aware that this is VS2013 Update 2 RC (<-----note Release Candidate)

This is a very large update so VS2013 and all projects were closed.

see: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42307 http://www.asp.net/visual-studio/overview/2013/aspnet-and-web-tools-20132-preview-for-visual-studio-2013-release-notes

Both Add Controller and Add View are back in the context menus and have worked on my test projects.

Just two steps

1)Update your Visual studio 2013

2) unload your project from solution explorer then Reload it again.

Bingo!

As Alex Dresko pointed out, the version I was using was RC and obviously I did not notice that before. One should use the RTM or above version to get this fixed. Thanks!!
