Set Homepage in Asp Net MVC

Question

In asp net MVC the  homepage   ie the route that displays when hitting www foo com  is set to Home Index     Where is this value stored   How can I change the  homepage    Is there anything more elegant than using RedirectToRoute   in the Index action of the home controller    I tried grepping for Home Index in my project and couldn t find a reference  nor could I see anything in IIS  6   I looked at the default aspx page in the root  but that didn t seem to do anything relevent   Thanks

If you don t want to change the router  just go to the HomeController and change MyNewViewHere in the index like this       public ActionResult Index                 return View  MyNewViewHere

Attribute Routing in MVC 5 Before MVC 5 you could map URLs to specific actions and controllers by calling routes MapRoute      in the RouteConfig cs file  This is where the url for the homepage is stored  Home Index   However if you modify the default route as shown below  routes MapRoute      name   quot Default quot       url   quot  controller   action   id  quot       defaults  new   controller    quot Home quot   action    quot Index quot   id   UrlParameter Optional       keep in mind that this will affect the URLs of other actions and controllers  For example  if you had a controller class named ExampleController and an action method inside of it called DoSomething  then the expected default url ExampleController DoSomething will no longer work because the default route was changed  A workaround for this is to not mess with the default route and create new routes in the RouteConfig cs file for other actions and controllers like so  routes MapRoute      name   quot Default quot       url   quot  controller   action   id  quot       defaults  new   controller    quot Home quot   action    quot Index quot   id   UrlParameter Optional      routes MapRoute      name   quot Example quot       url   quot hey now quot       defaults  new   controller    quot Example quot   action    quot DoSomething quot   id   UrlParameter Optional       Now the DoSomething action of the ExampleController class will be mapped to the url hey now  But this can get tedious to do for every time you want to define routes for different actions  So in MVC 5 you can now add attributes to match urls to actions like so  public class HomeController   Controller          url is now  index   instead of  home index       Route  quot index quot        public ActionResult Index                 return View                 url is now  create new  instead of  home create       Route  quot create new quot        public ActionResult Create                 return View
