Mvc customize routes

Question

I just want to customize routes in asp.net mvc , This is a blog website and I want to access controller methods using

wwww.sitename.com/blog/{blogtitle}

www.sitename.com/blog/{action}

Blog Controller

 public class BlogController : Controller
{

  public ActionResult Index(string title)
    {
        return View();
    }



        [Route("post-blog")]
    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Post(Blog blog,HttpPostedFileBase blogimage)
    {

        //some coe

    }
    [Route("post-blog")]
    public ActionResult Post()

    {

        if (Request.Cookies["userInfo"]==null)
        {
            return Redirect("/login");
        }

        return View();
    }

}

Here is route Config

  public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
    {
        routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
        //routes.Canonicalize().Www();
        routes.Canonicalize().Lowercase();




        routes.MapMvcAttributeRoutes();

        routes.MapRoute(
            name: "Default",
            url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
            defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "freelogomaker", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
        );


  }

But I am unable to hit action name "Index" using www.site.com/blog/titlename But I can access "post-blog" using www.site.com/blog/post-blog

Please help me I am beginner in asp.net mvc routing.

Answer 1

Add your parameter to the route attribute within {} brackets to indicate that it should be read from the URL, and not from something else (such as POST body, dependency injections, etc)

[Route("{title}")]
public ActionResult Index(string title)
{
    return View();
}

I also like to add the RoutePrefix attribute to the controller to make it a bit clearer.

[RoutePrefix("blog")]
public class BlogController : Controller
