Hi,

Need help to know if this is possible in ASP.Net MVC5

I want to set up routing such that

1. www.myWebsite.com points to Home/Index and
2. www.myWebsite.com/2/3 points to Chapter/Index

I have a HomeController with a parameterless Index action (which works fine with the default route config) and
I have a ChapterController with 2 parameters whose values must be fed in from the URL (e.g.: 2 & 3 from the sample URL above)

My current routing is as below

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

My chapter controller is as below

public class ChapterController : Controller
{
        public ActionResult Index(short? chapterID, short? verseNumber)
        {

            ViewModel vm = new ViewModel();
            vm.message = $"chapter: {chapterID} & verse: {verseNumber}";
            return View(vm);
        }
}

What I have tried:

tried to add a MapRoute entry as below but it doesnt work :(

routes.MapRoute(
    name: "Chapter",
    url: "{chapterID}/{verseNumber}",
    defaults: new { controller = "Chapter", action = "Index", verseNumber = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
