I am want to create a .NET Framework project that has API and MVC parts to it. In Visual Studio there are checkboxes that I can select but in Rider there is nothing, it only allows me to create an MVC project.
I know I can just reinstall Visual Studio and do it from there but I really want to know if there is a way to do this. With .Net Core I can simply add an API controlller bt I don't know how to just add a controller.
If there is a way to add it manually, please tell me!

  • Someone suggested that I create a WebAPI separately and add the config later but I can't even create an API.
  • I looked up how to add an API and it tells you to add one line of config but the code throws errors. The question

  • Did you try creating a separate Web API project, seeing what configuration that does, then applying that configuration to your existing MVC project? You'll learn a lot about what is necessary to get them both working that way. Commented Feb 5, 2021 at 15:55
  • But I can't even create a web API project in Rider. I'm thinking of switching back to VS. Commented Feb 5, 2021 at 15:56
  • If you like Rider...then why not just use VS to create the project, then you can use Rider to do actual development? Commented Feb 5, 2021 at 16:06
  • Lol, I have no space for both of them. :) Commented Feb 5, 2021 at 16:08
  • Storage is cheap these days. If you're that storage constrained...get some more storage! Commented Feb 5, 2021 at 16:09
