How do I create this route and use it?

Currently I am using the default route but I need a route that works like this:

localhost/Admin/Users/Index
localhost/Admin/Users/Add
localhost/Admin/Users/Delete

Where index add and delete are views with controllers in the AdminController.cs

The current structure everywhere else is fine, as it doesn't require multiple subdirectories.

Currently I have the the file I need to start with in:

{Project}/Views/Admin/Users/Index.cshtml

How would I create this route and how do I apply it to the controller?

Am I approaching this incorrectly?

This can be easily resolved using Route attributes, like:

[Route("Admin/Users/Edit/{id?}")]
public ActionResult TestView(string id)
{
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(id))
    {
        return View(“OneUser”, GetUser(id));
    }
    return View(“AlUsers”, GetUsers());
}

You can register another route specifying the route path and the controller in RegisterRoutes:

routes.MapRoute(
    name: "Admin",
    url: "{controller}/Users/{action}/{id}",
    defaults: new { id = UrlParameter.Optional },
    constraints: new { controller = "Admin" }
);

To handle your directory structure you need to extend the default view engine to add the new view paths:

public class ExtendedRazorViewEngine : RazorViewEngine
{
    public ExtendedRazorViewEngine()
    {
        List<string> existingPaths = new List<string>(ViewLocationFormats);
        existingPaths.Add("~/Views/Admin/Users/{0}.cshtml");

        ViewLocationFormats = existingPaths.ToArray();
    }
}

And register the engine in Application_Start:

protected void Application_Start()
{
    ViewEngines.Engines.Clear();

    ExtendedRazorViewEngine engine = new ExtendedRazorViewEngine();
    ViewEngines.Engines.Add(engine);

    ...
}
