Answer 1

There is no manual registration needed. Once the view and the controller action method is created, simply create a new Controller rendering and fill in the Controller and Method fields with the appropriate controller and method names. Sitecore has a default route registered already and uses dependency injection to pull in the right control using the values from Controller and Method fields.

As Vasiliy mentioned, you will need to create a Controller Rendering. Sitecore doesn't use the same routing engine as a standard ASP.NET MVC application.

Steps:

1. Create the Controller & Controller Action
2. Create the View
3. Create the Controller Rendering in Sitecore > Layout > Renderings (typically i organize my renderings in application specific folders such as SiteA, SiteB, etc...)
4. Add the Rendering to a content item

In the Controller Rendering item, you will need to populate the Controller & Controller Action properties.
