Running a copy of a .cshtml file gives a 404

问题:

I've created a copy(right-click Copy & Paste) of my Home page in a VS2013 ASP.NET MVC5 project and named it indexL10. When I try to run it, I get the following error:

Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

Requested URL: /Home/IndexL10

So, I'm guessing there's more to it than copying and pasting. I've tried googling around, but I've not found an answer, or search string that takes me to a page of a user with a similar problem. Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions? Thanks

*.cshtml files are not like *.aspx files. They're not directly exposed. The URL is translated by the framework into a route. That route points to a particular controller and a particular action in that controller, which is then called by the framework. The action returns an ActionResult, which in MVC is most typically satisfied via a ViewResult. Conventions in the framework come into play to look for a view to render with the same name as the action that was called, but this is not strictly required and can be overridden. Regardless, the view (your *.cshtml file) is rendered by Razor utilizing data provided by the action and returned as a response to the client.
