How can I make actions work in the HomeController without typing "Home"?

Question

My HomeController is controlling some pages like 'Index' and some others like 'Contact', 'About Us'.

But, if I type:

www.blabla.com/

the 'Index' will be called and it works.

But, if I type:

www.blabla.com/AboutUs

it doesn't work at all! It just works if I type:

www.blabla.com/Home/AboutUs

How can I make all the actions in HomeController work without typing "Home" before them?

Answer 1

You have to make a route that looks like this.

routes.MapRoute("AboutUs", "AboutUs",
                new
                {
                    controller = "Home",
                    action = "AboutUs"
                });

You can find your routes in your Global.asax file.

The reason for this is if you check your Global.asax file you should see a default route that works on the controller/action url route. So if you want /MyMethod you have to create a route for it.

You could also try something like.

routes.MapRoute("HomeActions", "{action}",
                new
                {
                    controller = "Home",
                    action = "Index"
                });

This should allow you to access all of your home controller actions by just using a /.
