Custom URL Routing in Asp.Net MVC 4

Question

How can i do like this url (http://www.domain.com/friendly-content-title) in Asp.Net MVC 4.

Note: This parameter is always dynamic. URL may be different: "friendly-content-title"

I try to Custom Attribute but I dont catch this (friendly-content-title) parameters in ActionResult.

Views:

• Home/Index
• Home/Video

ActionResult:

    // GET: /Home/        
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View(Latest);
    }

    // GET: /Home/Video        
    public ActionResult Video(string permalink)
    {
        var title = permalink;
        return View();
    }

RouteConfig:

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

        routes.MapRoute(
            name: "Home Page",
            url: "{controller}/{action}",
            defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" }
        );

        routes.MapRoute(
            name: "Video Page",
            url: "{Home}/{permalink}",
            defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Video", permalink = "" }
        );

    }

What should I do for catch to url (/friendly-content-title)?

To enable attribute routing, call MapMvcAttributeRoutes during configuration. Following are the code snipped.

     public class RouteConfig
        {
            public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
             {
                routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
                routes.MapMvcAttributeRoutes();
             }
        }

In MVC5, we can combine attribute routing with convention-based routing. Following are the code snipped.

        public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
         {
          routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
          routes.MapMvcAttributeRoutes();
          routes.MapRoute(
          name: "Default",
          url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
          defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
       );
  }

It is very easy to make a URI parameter optional by adding a question mark to the route parameter. We can also specify a default value by using the form parameter=value. here is the full article.
