Default landing page for an area independent of a default controller? <p>I have an MVC5 website with a few areas in it. Each area has its own set of controllers and obviously every controller has a default Index.cshtml as landing page. So far so good.</p> <p>But how do I go about implementing a landing page for an Area? I don't think there can be a landing page for an area independent of the controllers, so perhaps I would need to use sort of an area Home controller that would volunteer a landing page.</p> <p>The thing is that I want an URL like this to work:</p> <pre><code>http://www.domain.exe/AreaN/ </code></pre> <p>currently that does not work unless I make it like this:</p> <pre><code>http//www.domain.exe/AreaN/Controller/ </code></pre> <p>at this point my Area registration route looks like this</p> <pre><code>context.MapRoute( "AreaN_default", "AreaN/{controller}/{action}/{id}", new { action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }, new string[] { "Namespace" } ); </code></pre>
