### Create an MVC Application

Create a new MVC application using the ComponentOne or VisualStudio templates. For more information about creating an MVC application, see [Configuring your MVC Application](/componentone/docs/mvc/online-mvc/CreatingaNewProject) topic.

### Add a new Controller and View

**Add a new Controller**:

1.  In the **Solution Explorer**, right click the folder **Controllers.**
2.  From the context menu, select **Add | Controller**. The **Add Scaffold** dialog appears.
3.  Complete the following steps in the **Add Scaffold** dialog:
    1.  Select **MVC 5 Controller - Empty** template.
    2.  Set name of the controller (for example: `Default1Controller`).
    3.  Click **Add**.
4.  A new controller is added to the application.

**Add a View for the controller**:

1.  From the **Solution Explorer**, expand the folder **Controllers** and double click the controller (for example: `Default1Controller`) to open it.
2.  Place the cursor inside the method `Index()`.
3.  Right click and select **Add View**. The **Add View** dialog appears.
4.  In the **Add View** dialog, verify that the View name is **Index** and View engine is **Razor (CSHTML).**
5.  Click **Add**. A view is added for the controller.

### Add the Control

1.  From the **Solution Explorer**, expand the folder **Views**.
2.  Double click `Index.cshtml` to open it.
3.  Replace the default code of the `Index.cshtml` file with the code given below to initialize a **InputTime** control.
    
    ```razor
    @{
        var minTime = DateTime.Parse("07:00");
        var maxTime = DateTime.Parse("19:00");
    }
    <div>
        <label>Select a time</label>
        @(Html.C1().InputTime().Id("iditInputTime")
            .Value(DateTime.Now)
            .Min(minTime)
            .Max(maxTime)
            .Step(new TimeSpan(0, 15, 0))
            .Format("hh:mm tt")    
        )
    </div>
    ```
