I am using dotnet Core 3.1 and saw in my Controllers that a page name can not contain special characters (which is fine if you start a project from scratch).

If you got tasked with taking over an existing website and have page names that contains hyphens i.e. top-ten-pupils-in-matric, how can one go about in achieving this in dotnet core 3.1?

Please see the example below in what I would like to achieve

public IActionResult top-ten-pupils-in-matric()
{
        return View();
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Route attribute `[Route("Home/my-dashed-url")` – Train Feb 27 '20 at 22:45

.. or perhaps a [RouteHandler](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26176087/how-to-make-the-controllers-name-hyphen-separated)? – stuartd Feb 27 '20 at 22:46
Thank you so much, Train and stuartd! Works like a charm :) – Danie Du Preez Feb 27 '20 at 22:56

I would probably search and replace that with a more modern naming convention. Such as `TopTenPupilsInMatric()`. – jfiggins Feb 27 '20 at 23:03
