Followed line by line when switching the Detail fucntion to an action method, but the site broke afterward. Getting the 404 error.
Here are the two screenshots of the code from the IDE and the 404 error in the browser, What did I miss? http://uploadpie.com/sOAg8 http://uploadpie.com/zNx33

I think it might be because your ComicBookController class isn't set to public.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Web.Mvc;
namespace ComicBookGallery.Controllers
{
public class ComicBooksController : Controller
{
public ContentResult Detail()
{
return new ContentResults()
{
Content = "Hello from the comic books Controller"
}
}
}
}

Follow up question is that in the file path http://localhost:53286/ComicBooks/Detail Controller = ComicBooks Action = Detail
The routing process knows that the controller is /ComicBooks/ because the class name ComicBooksController? Is that correct?
Garrett Darnell
