1. You can specify a name for a route, in order to easily allow URI generation for it.
3. For example, for the following route:
5. [RoutePrefix("Home")]
6. public class HomeController : Controller {
7. [Route("Users/about", Name = "Users_About")]
8. [Route("Users/WhoareWe")]
9. [Route("Users/OurTeam")]
10. [Route("Users/aboutCompany")]
11. public ActionResult GotoAbout() {
12. return View();
13. }
14. }
15. you could generate a link using Url.RouteUrl:
17. "@Url.RouteUrl("Users_About")">About
18. which would resolve to
20. "home/users/about">About

Use RouteName to generate links

public class BooksController : ApiController

{

[Route("api/books/{id}", Name="GetBookById")]

public BookDto GetBook(int id)

{

// Implementation not shown...

}

[Route("api/books")]

public HttpResponseMessage Post(Book book)

{

// Validate and add book to database (not shown)

var response = Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.Created);

// Generate a link to the new book and set the Location header in the response.

string uri = Url.Link("GetBookById", new { id = book.BookId });

response.Headers.Location = new Uri(uri);

return response;

}
