Your routeconfig will have code like

C#

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

This means that if no controller is given then use Home and if no action then use Index. So "/" uses "/Home/Index", and "/MyController" will use "/MyController/Index"
