Question

I have a topLevel folder with a subFolder holding ControllerName. When I enter:

http://localhost/FolderName/FolderName/ControllerName

how do i tell mvc to account for the folder depth?

You'll need to configure your routes in Global.asax.cs. It doesn't actually matter physically where your controller is stored, but it should probably be in the /Controllers folder in your project.

Something like this in the RegisterRoutes method:

routes.MapRoute(
    "RouteName", // Route name
    "FolderName/FolderName/{controller}", // URL with parameters
    new { controller = "ControllerName", action = "Index", url = "" } // Parameter defaults
);

Put it before the other routes as it is quite specific.
