asp.net mvc 4 routing error

Question

im currently making an website in asp.net c#, using windows azure with a database, when i push the files to the server it works perfectly, the weird thing is every time i click the play button i get this error. it got to a point where having to keep sending it to the server to preview got annoying, if anyone could help me resolve this would greatly appreciate. also i have read up about "Area registration" and have attempted many ways but none seems to work. this is my RouteConfig.cs

   public class RouteConfig
    {
    public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
    {
        routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

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

when i edit url:

   "{controller}/{action}/{id}"

and put url:

  "Views/Home/{action}/{id}" 

the directory just loads, allowing me to manually select files, the error dosnt come up, but the index cant be access, when i click Views, it then becomes " localhost - /Views/" but the page stays the same, i click "views" again and i get a 404 "Requested URL: /Views/Views/"

This is the error i am receiving :

Answer 1

To simply add view:

Right mouse button inside HomeController Index action and choose "add View".

Answer 2

By the looks of things you are missing the index.cshtml file.

In your project you could have a views folder in the same level as your controller folder. In that there should be a folder with the same name as the controller minus "controller" text. Index.cshtml needs to exist in there.
