How to Route /About to /Home/About

Question

I am just getting started with ASP.NET MVC and it\'s great! However, I don\'t quite understand setting up routes.

How do I route ~/About to ~/Home/About?

In response to your comment on RM's answer - you don't actually need wildcards for that. Just do

routes.MapRoute(
    "AllToHomeController",
    "{action}/{id}",
    new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "" });

Note, however, that you need to place this route at the very end of your route table (and you'll have to delete the default route), as this will catch every url that comes in.

You can use Phil Haack's Route Debugger to verify that your routes pick up urls as you expect.
