'Controller' is a namespace but is used like a type error on compiling an ASP.NET core application

Question

I have an empty asp.net core app. I have added a controller to the application. When I try to compile the application it throws the below error

'Controller' is a namespace but is used like a type

The source is below

However if I prefix Controller with the namespace as shown below then it works fine.

Why is this ?

Look at your namespace, WebApplication1.Controller. Compiler thinks you want that instead of the Controller class. Rename your directory and namespace to be plural Controllers as is the usual practice and you won't have this issue.
