.NET MVC 4.5 rewrite index route

Question

Currently I have a controller like this:

class AccountController : Controller {

    public ActionResult Index() {
        return View();
    }
}

It's ok except one part that user when go to this page will have this url: http://myhost/account/index, which is unwanted. How can I have http://myhost/account only ?

Answer 1

Something like this could do the trick

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

It could be also done with Attribute routing decorating with [Route] the method you want to be the default.
