Accepted answer
- For a HomeController with an Index action, the generated URL will be /Home/Index.
- For a StudentsController with an Index action, the generated URL will be /Students/Index.
These URLs are generated dynamically according to the defined route pattern ({controller}/{action}/{id?}), meaning the route table does not register the specific routes /Home/Index and /Students/Index directly. Instead, the route table contains the pattern {controller}/{action}/{id?}, and it will match incoming requests to the actual controllers and actions using this pattern.

In ASP.NET MVC, MapRoute is used to define a route template and its corresponding handler. When you use conventional routing, the route template /Home/Index and /Students/Index are not directly registered to the route table.

Instead, the route template {controller}/{action}/{id?} is registered, which is a generic pattern that matches multiple routes, including /Home/Index and /Students/Index .
