Different url from controllername in asp.net MVC

Question

I have a controller called CarController located in a folder called Buy. So the url becomes www.website.com/Buy/Car

How do I make the url be instead "/purchase/vehicle" without changing controller and folder name?

Thanks!

routes.MapRoute("buyCar", "purchase/vehicle", new { controller = "Car", action = "Buy" }); — George Stocker

The folder doesn't matter. Physical folder structures do no relate to routes. — George Stocker

You need to define a new route for it

    routes.MapRoute(
        name: "VehicleRoute",
        url: "purchase/vehicle",
        defaults: new { controller = "Car", action = "TheAction" }
    );

Just make sure you have placed it before the default route.

You can do this with a custom route. See here for informations about routing. You can then create your custom route with default values for the Controller and the action, something like:

routes.MapRoute(
  "MyRoute",
  "purchase/vehicle",
  defaults: new { controller = "Car", action = "Buy" }
);

You have to put in there the correct controller name and the action you want to call.
