MVC :: Routing For Same Action Names?
Feb 14, 2011I am having trouble with adding routes to Global.asax for actions with same names.
For example, my controller has the 3 Action methods
public ActionResult GetMedia()

I'm trying to learn MVC and I'm playing around with the MvcMusicStore tutorial.I'm trying to modify the StoreController to change some of the behaviours.I'd like to change the route behaviour from:
[Code]....
I've been struggling for some time now with an MVC routing issue, but I have finally reached a point where the basic routing is correct; that is, the application is invoking the correct action method and .aspx page, but the action method fails because no parameters are passed to it.
Before I show detailed screenshots of the problem, I had better provide some background. This is a bibliographic application which, among other things, analyzes text abstracts to identify unique words and the number of occurrences for each word in each document. This data will eventually be inserted into a SQL Server database, but for the time being I only want to do the calculation and display the results, on a document-by-document basis, in an .ASPX view set up for the purpose. The data structure of the application is as follows:
Collections -this is a set of fifty or so CollectionDetails items.CollectionDetails represent individual documents, in this case books in an academic library. Attributes of the CollectionDetail record are those typical of a library book--author, call number, title, year, and so on. The title and subject catalog headings are combined to form a quasi-abstract, which becomes the basis of the text analysis. In a few cases, I added additional text from Google Books or Amazon synopses and reviews.
MasterStopList contains common words such as pronouns and prepositions that we want to exclude from consideration.
I want my searches like those in Stack Overflow (i.e. no action, no slashes):
mydomain.com/search --> goes to a general search page
mydomain.com/search?type=1&q=search+text --> goes to actual search results
My routes:
routes.MapRoute(
"SearchResults",[code]....
The search results route does not work. I don't want to use the ".../..." approach that everyone seems to be using, because a search query is not a resource, so I want the data in a query string as I've indicated, without slashes--exactly like SO does.
I have been working with this database for some time. Here is the situation...
I inherited a MS SQL database that has hundreds of tables with similar data. For instance:
FordTampa_customer is a table,
ChevyAtlanta_customer is a table, etc....
All of the columns are the same...just different tables with their own ID field. All I have done...Inside of another database id is created a table called 'Customer' and added an 'Dealer ID' column along with the rest of the other columns in the other tables...
So the combination of the 'Dealer ID' and the 'ID' field are unique.....I know...its not the best way to do things...but I cannot change the old data structure because I cannot have access to it. I am give back-ups on a weekly basis, so this is all I have to work with.
All right, on to the real point of my post...
Currently, I have an application that I use to select all of the data from the 'Ford_customers','Chevy_customers',etc... and inserts them into my new main 'Customer' table. I do this by selecting the table names, bind it to an arraylist, loop through the list and execute an insert statement.
I do this in VB.NET, but I would prefer to do it in a Stored procedure of some kind....I just am not sure how to accomplish it. I use this syntax to get my list of tables:
[Code]....
I am not sure how to take those names from the table and do another select based on that list of names.
I tried everything I could find, but still does not work on IIS routing.

ASP.NET 3.5 SP1 with Web Forms Routing thru Global.asax (System.Web.Routing and RegisterRoutes)IIS 7
Everything is working fine in my local machine, but it gives the following error in my hosting environment:
Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Routing, Version=3.5.0.0, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I did everything inside my web.config file mentioned in the following link:

I'm implement Comet in Asp.net MVC, I used timer to keep Async request in server, Async request will complete when timer elapsed 1 minute and response to client (to avoid 404 error) and then reconnect to Async Controller. I also wanna execute some Synchronous action during Async request was holding, but the problem is: When an Async action was executed and hold by using timer, the Sync Action wasn't called until Async action (comet long-live request) completed. I did test with firefox 3.6 many times, but the result is the same, so strange, Do you know why ? I have a sub some questions : To implement comet, using timer (response after some minutes elapsed) or thread (response after several time sleeping thread) to hold async request, which is better?

Lets say I have a simple controller for ASP.NET MVC I want to test. I want to test that a controller action (Foo, in this case) simply returns a link to another action (Bar, in this case).How would you test TestController.Foo? (either the first or second link)
My implementation has the same link twice. One passes the url throw ViewData[]. This seems more testable to me, as I can check the ViewData collection returned from Foo(). Even this way though, I don't know how to validate the url itself without making dependencies on routing.The controller:
public class TestController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Foo()[code].....
I have a Web application where i have added a reference to a RESTful WCF. I got the WCF url Routing to work in my webapplication by adding Inherits="RestService.Global" to the Web applications Global.asax.
<%@ Application Codebehind="Global.asax.cs" Inherits="RestService.Global" Language="C#" %>
But then i tried to create url Routing for the Web application and it does not work with the Inherits="RestService.Global" in the Global.asax. If i take it away it works fine. Is there a correct way to do this.
I'm trying to create my own CMS and I've gotten a little bit stuck at the stage of URL routing.
I want clean URLs without extensions and I'd like to be able to create and modify them in a web based interface without any messing around with IIS or actual files.
I've seen how to create a static route, but for that I need to go into my Global.asax file and manually add it.I would like to have all of these routes stored in a database so that I can easily modify them later.
Does anyone know how this can be achieved?
Just for extra information, I will be attempting to create a feature so that if a path exists, but is later changed, a 301 redirect is created to the new URL, is this also possible? (My first problem is the main issue, but thought I might ask this as well just in case it makes a difference)
How to handle asp.net mvc routing along with asp.net webform routing. I have merged my mvc app into my existing web application. In my web application i have implement routing as below:
routes.Add("View Product Details", new Route("Product/{City}/{Manufacturer}/{Name}/{ProductID}/{*ProductType}"));
Similarly i have implemented routing in mvc as below
routes.MapRoute("Product Details",
"Product/{City}/{Manufacturer}/{Name}/{ProductID}/{ProductType}",
new
{
controller = "Home",
action = "ProductDetails",
City= UrlParameter.Optional,
Manufacturer= UrlParameter.Optional,
Name= UrlParameter.Optional,
ProductID= UrlParameter.Optional,
ProductType= UrlParameter.Optional
});

I've been using Html.Action("ActionName", "ControllerName") to invoke child actions across controllers without needing to have the view in ViewsShared. This has been working great for displaying things like session or cookie information.
Instead of just accessing cookies, I would like to pass additional parameters to Html.Action("ActionName", "ControllerName") so the action can execute different code based on the the data passed to the original view.
Should I be using a different method to pass parameters to a child action in a different controller?
I'm trying to add file upload functionality to a page. I've got a form that posts the selected file to a controller with a 'savefile' method. But if I don't add a get version of 'savefile' I'll get a 404 error. Here is the form code which is presented on the Index page:
[Code]....
And here is the controller code:
[Code]....
Intuitively I don't think I should need a GET version of SaveFile but if omit it I get a 404 error when the form posts. Why should I need a GET version of SaveFile when all I want is to post a form and save the file?

I'm looking for a way to find out which action invoked the other: for instance, when redirecting to Action1, I need to know whether it is coming from clicking "next" button at Action0 or clicking "back" button at Action2. This is is to avoid performing Action1 twice (My app is like a wizard, if I click back button at Action2, I don't want to execute Action1 again).

Response.RedirectPermanent(Url); can redirect permanently to a url.
However, during my SEO process, I decided to change my routhing rule.
For example,
I change "/tag/{tag}-quotes" routing rule to "quoes-about/{tag}", but I don't want to lose all the traffic to old routing url.
What is the best way to handle this permanent redirection?
