Empty ASP .NET Core Web Application project in Visual studio 2017

Question

I created an .NET Core Web Application Project with the latest Visual Studio Professional 2017 Version 15.9.2. The .NET Framework is 4.6.01586. I have installed the ASP.NET and web development modul on Visual Studio and I can select a .NET Core Application when creating a new project. Visual Studio creates an empty Solution:

.

It doesn't matter which type of ASP .NET Core Web Application I select the project is always empty.

Creating an ASP .NET Web Application works fine.

I use Visual Studio Professional 2017 in a Oracle VM VirtualBox. On my local machine everything works fine.

Can anyone help me?

Answer 1

have you tried creating an application from the cmd?

navigate to the folder you want the app in than type the following

dotnet new mvc

for example and see what it will give you. It should create a asp.net core app with mvc in mind. If it still gives you problems after that it might be you are missing some installed component by chance.
