Defining static routes other than default to similar route in home

Question

I have set up a default route in my .NET MVC 5 app like this:

public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
        {
            routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

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

So now whenever I access my site at:

localhost:59920 

It opens me up the index controller from home.

Now I have more methods inside the same controller like:

Register, Login and such 

How can I set up a route so that it looks like this:

localhost:59920/Login

localhost:59920/Register

Answer 1

Using Attribute routing

public class AccountController : Controller
{
  [Route("Login")]
  public ActionResult Login()
  {
     return View();
  }
}

With Traditional routing

routes.MapRoute(
    name: "Login",
    url: "Login",
    defaults: new { controller = "Account", action = "Login" }
);

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

Now when you request yourSite/Login, the Login action method in AccountController will handle that.
