I'm following a tutorial on how to build a website with MVC. I created the project as Web under C#, then chose Empty from ASP.Net 4.6.1 Templates and chose the option MVC.

I created two new folders and added bootstrap, CSS, and fonts files to these new folders.

I also created a new folder under View folder and then added Layout Page (Razor v3).


Then after I added the following code

------------------------------------------------------

<pre><title>@Page.Title</title>

    <link href="~/Content/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>
<body>

    <!--Navbar-->
    <Nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top">
        <div class="container">

            <div class="row">

                <div class="col-sm-4">.col-sm-4</div>
                <div class="col-sm-4">.col-sm-4</div>
                <div class="col-sm-4">.col-sm-4</div>
            </div>

            <div class="navbar-header">
                <button class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapase"
                        data-target="#navbar">
                    <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                    <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                    <span class="icon-bar"></span>

                </button>
                <a href="#" class="navbar-brand">
                    <img src="" />
                </a>

            </div>

            <div id="navbar" class="navbar-collapse">
                <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
                    <li>
                        <a href="#">
                            
                            Food Menu
                        </a>
                    </li>

                    <li>
                        <a href="#">
                            ^__i class="glyphicon glyphicon-home">
                            Registeration
                        </a>
                    </li>
                    <li>
                        <a href="#">
                            ^__i class="glyphicon glyphicon-home">
                            About
                        </a>
                    </li>


                </ul>
            </div>
        </div>

    </Nav>

    @RenderBody()

    <!--Footer-->
    <script src="~/Scripts/jquery.js"></script>
    <script src="~/Scripts/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

   
</body>
</html>

There are "good" and "bad" tutorials.

You obviously picked a bad one.

Thank you.

the error may not be in this page. most probably it is in your route configuration or controller.

Could you please guide me to solve this issue. How to set route configuration?

Thank you.

Can you please check the location of index.cshtml file( or your view). it should be under the views folder in a sub-folder called home or in a sub-folder named with your controller name. If you place it on a different location the error can occur.
