Question

I created an empty MVC4 Application, all things are working fine, after that I add an Area to my Project Named \"Moderator\". My area routing code is like this:

Answer 1

Just add the "namespace:" named parameter in RegisterRoutes() method of RouteConfig.cs in App_Start folder. And specify the value of "namespace" to the namespace of your controller, within which you want to call action method. In following example i want to call Index() method in Village Controller from root of project.

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

        routes.MapRoute(
            name: "Default",
            url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
            defaults: new { controller = "Village", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
            namespaces: new string[] { "MvcApplication1.Controllers" }
        );
    }
