I have searched through a number of questions(No Connection String Named MyEntities Could Be Found In The Application Config), but most seem to deal with multiple projects in a solution, in this case I have only one project in one solution. Also this is my first MVC Project with EF6. When going to add a controller I get this error:

enter image description here

This is my Web.Config

enter image description here

And This is My Solution Explorer

enter image description here

I know the error references an Application Config File, but I do not have an app Config file, nor do I know where to put it or how to create it.

EDIT, Here is the code for the db context

public class ApplicationDbContext : IdentityDbContext<ApplicationUser>
{
     public ApplicationDbContext() : base("name=DBConnection"){}
     public System.Data.Entity.DbSet<zzz.Models.Supplier> Suppliers { get; set; }
}

can you show some code, specifically your DbContext? you most likely aren't specifying the right connection to look at in there. – mmeasor Sep 16 '14 at 19:13
do you have your DbContext in separate project which compiling into dll? – aleha_84 Sep 16 '14 at 19:32
No, it is all in one project – Joe Stellato Sep 16 '14 at 19:34
`base("name=DBConnection")` this looks wrong, I believe this will try to find a ` – AaronLS Sep 16 '14 at 19:36
Change to `base("WhateverHiddenDBConnection")` – AaronLS Sep 16 '14 at 19:38

Changing to base("DBConnection") causes adding a controller to just create a local db instead of connect to the SQL server – Joe Stellato Sep 16 '14 at 19:39
