Q: 

How can I get "new MVC item" options to appear in AddItem menu, when project is a Dynamic Data project

Hi

I've started with a VS2010 Dynamic Data project, but now I want to add other MVC type pages etc.

How can I get "new MVC item" options to appear in AddItem menu?

i.e. this seems to appear in an MVC created project, but if I started with a DD project how can I make the option appear

+1  A: 

MVC doesn't play well in Dynamic Data projects.

However, most of DD is in MVC 2. You should create an MVC project and use the "dynamic templated views" feature rather than try and make MVC and DD cooperate.

I tried it a while back and found "plain" DD to be not very tweak-able. It's designed to be an "instant site" rather than "close to the metal" like MVC. MVC 2 has enough to build DD, but you can't build MVC with DD.

can I confirm what you meant exactly by "dynamic templated views" of MVC - Like for example what link at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd394709%28v=VS.100%29.aspx would cover what you were suggestion (thanks)
