I want to add a new webpage through code. Normally we would just right click and select add new item, but i want to know if there's a way that i can just code to add new items.

What I have tried:

The reason why i wanted to know about this is because i'm trying to create a content management system, and it requires to create a new webpage. Since the user does not know how to create it in visual studio 2015, I will need to create a system where the user can create their own webpage via the actual website. Like for example: I wanted to add new webpage called "Test.aspx" in my Pages folder. The question is how can i do it in code? Hope this makes sense.

You would use a database to store information and not create new ASPX files on the server. And when the user ask for a page, you would retrieve the information from the database and generate a page from that using an ASPX page as a template.

And by the way, there are many existing CMS systems so why would you create your own?
