If you open the project file in Visual Studio right click the controllers folder and chose add new Controller, you will get an error that states "No executable found matching command dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator".

In order to fix this issue, the following lines need to be added to the CSProj file:

    <ItemGroup>
        <DotNetCliToolReference Include="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.CodeGeneration.Tools" Version="1.0.0" />
    </ItemGroup>
