Interchange Controller and action place in URL for MVC application

In this blog you can learn how can you replace controller and action place in URL.

In MVC you can change controller and action location in URL  by doing some changes in RouteConfig.cs.

 

For e.g.  In your application if Home is controller  name and Index is action name  so by default URL created to access it will be

 

http://localhost:4377/home/index

 

And RouteConfig.cs Setting will be

routes.MapRoute(
               name: "Default",
               url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
               defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
           );

But if you want your URL to look like below.

 

http://localhost:4377/index/home

 

Only you have to do is to change RouteConfig.cs settings.

The only change will be action is placed before controller in URL parameter.

routes.MapRoute(
               name: "Default",
               url: "{action}/{controller}/{id}",
               defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
           );

Now all your action name will be placed before controller name in URL.
