Asp.Net MVC5 ScaffFolding Customization

Below is how I customized my scaffold template for the BaseController. You can customize more templates by follow these steps and pick up the right template you want to customize.

1. Create folder call "CodeTemplate" directly in the project folder.

2. Go to below path, find MvcControllerWithActions folder copy all to folder "CodeTemplates"

   C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\ Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Web\Mvc\Scaffolding\Templates

3. Go to CodeTemplates -> MvcControllerWithActions in your project.

4. There are two files, Controller.cs.t4 and Controller.vb.t4 in MvcControllerWithActions, if you used C#, delete Controller.vb.t4.

5. Open the Controller.cs.t4 file, modify the Controller name to BaseController, like below:

   public class <#= ControllerName #> : BaseController { }

6. Now, when you try to create MVC5 Controller using "add new scaffold item", it'll use the template you customized

.

Hope it helps.
