    I guess Visual Studio is not recognizing this project as an MVC type project. VS looks into the Project File to see what type of project it is then it will offere project specific menu options.

    Check Your Project file and see whether there is the required value for MVC in ProjectTypeGuids node

    Step 1) : Go to your solution explorer and unload the existing ASP.NET project by right clicking and selecting “Unload Project”

    enter image description here

    Step 2) Right Click the Project in solution explorer and select “Edit your project file name“

    enter image description here

    Step 3) Go to the Element called “ProjectTypeGuids” and Add {E53F8FEA-EAE0-44A6-8774-FFD645390401}; infront of the existing content.

    Save the file and Reload the Project and now you will have the MVC specific Items.

    enter image description here

    Here is a sample where i have demonstrated step by step how to edit the project file to include the MVC options in an ASP.NET website when you do the conversion.
