Url without controllerName

Question

I want to hide the controller name from URL. I am using the below code.

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

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

This works perfecly.

but only works when i type

http :// domain/ActionName

otherwise, I still able to see

http :// domainname/controller/action

Is there any way to http ://domain/ActionName even if user tried to type

http :// domainname/controller/action

If you have only one Controller (Home) I guess you can have only one route definition ( assuming all your actions share the same parameter pattern) :

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