Reference Attribute Routing in ASP.NET MVC 5 - Route Names

You can specify a name for a route, in order to easily allow URI generation for it.

For example, for the following route:

[RoutePrefix("Home")]
public class HomeController : Controller {
    [Route("Users/about", Name = "Users_About")]
    [Route("Users/WhoareWe")]
    [Route("Users/OurTeam")]
    [Route("Users/aboutCompany")]
    public ActionResult GotoAbout() {
        return View();
    }
}

you could generate a link using Url.RouteUrl :

<a href="@Url.RouteUrl("Users_About")">About</a>

which would resolve to

<a href="home/users/about">About</a>
