Because this is not the correct way to implement URL Routing in ASP.NET. When you create URLs you do so this way,

C#

routes.MapRoute(
    name: "Default1",
    url: "/{id}/{controller}/{action}",
    defaults: new { controller = "Login", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);

Since Login is controller, I have added {controller} in its place, constants are never resolved and mapped to any code-behind logic such as Controller, Action or other parameters. The parameters for controller, action or any other ID or other parameters are passed in {} blocks. You cannot pass your own variables or constant literals. If you want to, then you should accept them on your server also; such as id. It would be passed to your action as,

C#

public ActionResult Login(int id) { /* code */ }

You can pass your own variables in a very similar manner; such as username string.

Hi Afzaal
Thanks for reply,but not working I use

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

routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default1",
url: "{id}/{controller}/{action}",
defaults: new { controller = "Login", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);

and try in url with http://localhost:49767/abcd/Login but its says The resource cannot be found.any thought?
