I'm wondering if it is possibile to customize routing in a way that all requests are evaluated by a piece of code, redirected to the relevant controller if a match is found or passed to next rout in list if not found.
sample request:
/my coolpage/another one
the code searches and determine that the right controller for this is Page, action is "list" and id is "123" and so redirects
another request:
/products/list/5
code finds no match al passes it back to next route that knows how to handle it...
Was looking at asp.net mvc complex routing for tree path as an example of how to define a custom route handler for my MVC app. Essentially, I want to give the end user ultimate flexibility in defining the URL for any given page, so I provide them with a field in the interface to specify their own custom URL.
My custom route handler is basically a wild-card handler. It will do a lookup and if it finds a match, map it accordingly. However, if no match is found, I want it to fall back and find the next rule that matches in the global.asax. Is that possible? Or do I essentially need to code the mappings that used to exist in my global.asax into my custom route handler?
I wrote my own custom ResourceProvider in order to move localization management to DB instead using standard resx files.The provider works fine, but now (after having bought a third part components for UI) I need to implement a fallback to standard ASP.NET localization mechanism from my own provider since these controls has been already localized from the author and are packaged with resx files.So what I would like to do, is keep the actual mechanism for all the resources except for the resoucers related to this controls.I'm able to distinct when a resource is belong to external components, so what I need is how to invoke for this resource the standard location management.
I have spent several hours today reading up on doing Custom Routing in ASP.NET MVC. I can understand how to do any type of custom route if it expands from or is similar/smaller than the Default Route. However, I am trying figure out how to do a route similar to:
/Language/{LanguageID}/Question/{QuestionID}/
And what I would like, too, is similar to how SO works. Something like:
I have added a new route to enable me to have nice seo friendly URLs instead of an id field for some news items I am displaying from a database
My global.asax looks like this
[code]...
The problem I have is that since I have added this extra route all my standard URLS (Home etc) are now displaying the controller and action name after them, for example [URL] is being displayed in the URL for my homepage
The news URLS all look fine they are [URL]
why the Controller/Action is now being displayed on non news URL's and how I can stop this happening, would I use a constraint of some sort on the News route ?
I use the RedirectToAction with parameters in my action method
return RedirectToAction("ListThreads", "View", new { category = "1", subcategory = "49"}); After redirect the url comes out like this http://domain/Forum/View/ListThreads?category=1&subcategory=49 I want it to be generated like http://domain/Forum/View/ListThreads/1/49
How to do it?
Note : I already have a route in global.asax that is used by all the pages/links.
I have a multi tenant system and I need to allow administrators to edit the information of other customers. I believe the correct way to do this is to append the customer ID to each request, and update my routes accordingly. How do I make ASP.NET accept and use something like this in the controller (order doesn't mean much to me): [URL] and how would I pass and consume that in my controller? The ASP.NET tutorials skip this... (or I don't know where to search)
For each appSetting I use, I want to specify a value that will be returned if the specified key isn't found in the appSettings. I was about to create a class to manage this, but I'm thinking this functionality is probably already in the .NET Framework somewhere?
Is there a NameValueCollection/Hash/etc-type class in .NET that will let me specify a key and a fallback/default value -- and return either the key's value, or the specified value?
If there is, I could put the appSettings into an object of that type before calling into it (from various places).
my user will use form authentication against Active Directory or database. Theres no Windows Integrated Authentication there!!
What i want is when the user submit the authentication form, it will try to validate the user against Active Directory and if it fail, try with the database.
How can i do that? What i had in mind was to build a custom membership provider that will encapsulate the logic but im not sure how to start.
When I do an Html.RenderAction( action, controller, new { varName = value } ); if the original request had a parameter equal to varName, then the value is not changed in a render action.
Example:
1. Post to "C1/A1" with a string var _test = "abc"
2. Inside C1/A1 get some data and return a partial view
3. Inside the partial view I invoke an action on another controller. The action has an input variable with the same name and type (string _test) Html.RenderAction( "A2","C2", new {_test="fgh"});
4. the value in _test that arrives at C2/A2 is still "abc"
I've traced through it step by step, and the value used in the view render action call is correct, but in the next trace step, the value received at C2/A2 is incorrect.
If this is not an error, and creating a new route value to pass in render action is not the correct way to handle this, what is?
I am an C# ASP.NET developer. I am trying to route URL from one domain to another using Godaddy IIS Virtual dedicated server or Dedicated server for ASP.NET.
For example I have a website application for client_A in my server which is intended to be use by multiple clients with different products.
An example URL: www.myserver.com/client_A/product/bear/?productid=1 or using pretty URL www.myserver.com/A_Application/product/bear/1
I would like to setup for my client to point to client_A using his/her domain.
My Client example URL will be: www.hisserver.com/product/bear/?productid=1 or using pretty URL www.hisserver.com/product/bear/1
I have made an asp.net mvc 3 application with an area called blog. I want to route this area to my subdomain blog.mywebsite.com. How can I achieve this?
How do I need to define my route? Do I have to configure the DNS?
Currently I just use the default area route. I can access my blog area for now at this way. mywebsite.com/blog
I have a situation where I want a route in my application so that the application's index method can recognize this[URL]The problem is that, when I set up the route corresponding to the first URL, the route for the second URL does not work (even if I set up a separate route for that).
I have several routes defined in my Global.asax; now, when I'm on a page I need to figure out what is the route name of the current route, because route name drives my site menu. I can't find a way to get current route name.
