ASP.NET routing enables you to use URLs that do not have to map to specific files in a Web site in both ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET Webforms.

ASP.NET routing enables you to use URLs that do not have to map to specific files in a Web site. Because the URL does not have to map to a file, you can use URLs that are descriptive of the user's action and therefore are more easily understood by users.

You can define URL patterns that map to request-handler files, but that do not necessarily include the names of those files in the URL. In addition, you can include placeholders in a URL pattern so that variable data can be passed to the request handler without requiring a query string. This topic requires an understanding of ASP.Net Routing and its design logic.
