Routing In Asp.Net Core

In this article, we will discuss routing in asp.net core.

Routing The Asp.Net MVC Application

In asp.net MVC application, we have a "routeconfig.cs" file where we write routing rules. It is not required that the URL is mapped to the physical files.

Routing In Asp.Net Core

In case of the asp.net core, we have the following rules: -

Rule	URL	Description
Routes are mapped to physical view files (without extension)	http://localhost/index	The URL is mapped to the physical file "index.cshtml".
"Index.cshtml" is the default document	http://localhost	The URL is mapped to "index.cshtml".
Folder name is added in the URL	http://localhost/Admin/privacy	The URL is mapped to "privacy.cshtml" inside the "Admin" folder.
