merge asp.net mvc with existing asp.net app

I have merged and asp.net 4.0 app with a asp.net mvc 3 app.

Everything works, except for the gravy like right clicking on the Controllers folder and getting:

Add >> Add Controller

Same for Views, etc, etc.

Any pointers?

Open the corresponding .csproj file using your favorite text editor (Not Visual Studio) and add the following:

<PropertyGroup>
    ...

    <ProjectTypeGuids>{F85E285D-A4E0-4152-9332-AB1D724D3325};Some other guids which are not important</ProjectTypeGuids>
    ...
</PropertyGroup>

Notice the {F85E285D-A4E0-4152-9332-AB1D724D3325} guid. This is what indicates that it's an ASP.NET MVC 2 project and you should get Visual Studio menus.

If this is an ASP.NET MVC 3 RC project the guid is {E53F8FEA-EAE0-44A6-8774-FFD645390401}.

You can simple add another project in your solution by opening porject file of mvc app in sub folder.

That will resolve you problem.
