You can do that easily with Attribute Routing in ASP.NET MVC 5

In MVC, a url does not need to map to a file or a directory. A url can be mapped to a function, the parts of the url will then be the parameter of the function. Such functions are called Action methods. Mapping a url to an action is called Routing. MVC framework allows you to define routes, then the framework will parse the url and does its magic to call your Action methods.
