The Url which you have mentioned is wrong.
By default the
route config in MVC accepts url like
{controller}/{Action}/{id,parameters if any}
So the views/Home/Index.cshtml is the folder level search which is not required here.
You should access the page with:-
Home/Index only.
This will redirect to a new page, considering Home is the controller, Index an action and the Action method has a view defined like below
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
<html>
<head>
<title>XYZ</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
then access from layout with:
@Html.ActionLink("Click(ActionName goes here)","Index(Action method name)","Home(Controller name)")
Thanks
