Question

Server Error in '/' Application. The resource cannot be found. Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

Requested URL: /Movies/Random

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319; ASP.NET Version:4.8.3928.0

This is an Error Message Shown when I Started doing an online tutorial. What may be the reason for this???

Random.cshtml

@model Vidly.Models.Movie
 @{
ViewBag.Title = "Random";
Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}
<h2>@Model.Name</h2>

Movie.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;

namespace Vidly.Models
{
    public class Movie
    {
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    }
}

MoviesController.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using Vidly.Models;

namespace Vidly.Controllers
{
    public class MoviesController : Controller
    {
        // GET: Movies/Random
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            var movie = new Movie() { Name = "Hello" };

            return View(movie);
        }
    }
}

You are not pointing on the correct path for your application. The engine is trying to find a action method called Random in your Movies controller and appranently it is not there. Please review how you have setup your routes in RouteConfig.cs. — Rahul Sharma

In the MoviesController.cs it should be

public ActionResult Random()

instead of

public ActionResult Index()
