ASP.NET MVC Routing Root Level Views

Question

I thought this would be fairly easy, but I'm totally baffled. I want one controller's views to be at the root level of the application, rather than in a subdirectory for that controller, but I cannot figure it out. I'd like to have these two urls: /Info - This should action "Info" on controller "Home" /Admin/ - This should be action "Index" (default) on controller "Admin" So far no matter what I've tried, the first route will end up catching both. I can't seem to separate the two. That Info page doesn't even need a controller, it' static, but I do want to use a master page. There may be a much easier way to pull this off, but I haven't figured that out either. All I can think of that would work, would be to create an Info controller, and move Views/Home/Info to Views/Info/Index, but that has a certain smell to it. I was able to do this in rails using: ``` map.connect ':controller/:action/:id' map.connect ':action', :controller => 'home' ```

Accepted Answer

You just need proper routes. In your case:

```
routes.MapRoute(
                "Info",
                "Info",
                new { controller = "Home", action = "Info" }

routes.MapRoute(
                "Admin",
                "Admin",
                new { controller = "Admin", action = "Index" }
```

But i recommend you this approach.
