Where is the mapping of a Controller to a View in ASP.NET MVC

I am new to ASP.Net programming. I have created an empty MVC controller called TestController, and as I follow the tutorial it says right click on the Index method of the Controller , then click Add View.

The View is successfully created and with I open the page

http://localhost:9993/Test

It successfully opens the relevant view file (Views->Test->Index.cshtml)

My question is where exactly in the code is the mapping defined that relates a View to a Controller ? Because when I open the controller, it has no information about which View file it relates to and Vice versa

By default ASP.NET MVC searches appropriate views in {controller} subfolder of Views folder, where {controller} is a name of ASP.NET MVC Controller class without word "Controller", and in Views/Shared folder.

In RouteConfig.cs (App_Start folder), your routes are defined. You can add or customize them there, in order to get to the right action in the right controller.

About views, it works by convention : if a controller is named TestController, and the action is named Index, it will search for an Index.cshtml view in a Views\Test folder (or Views\Shared if you wish to reuse a view across multiple controllers)
