So I have a controller called EmployeeController, and all the Views are in /Employee.
I'd like to create a route so that the EmployeeController will use /Employees and /Employees/Add instead of /Employee and /Employee/Add.
I keep finding articles about how to change the route to go to different actions.
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'm trying to do a site like http://example.com which goes to my SignIn action located at the Account controller. After signing in, I want to redirect to something like http://example.com/id where id is the user's ID.
I already have this code in my Global.asax.cs.
routes.MapRoute("Login2",
"{bg}/{controller}/{action}",
new { controller = "Account", action = "SignIn", bg = "" }
);
routes.MapRoute("Login",
"{controller}/{action}",
new { controller = "Account", action = "SignIn" }
);
routes.MapRoute("Default",
"{bg}/{controller}/{action}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", bg = "" }
);
When I go to http://example.com/id and the user is not yet authenticated, the sign-in form is displayed and it goes to the page I want it to redirect after signing in. In the case of just going to http://example.com, I'm doing some server-side validation to know the user's id and it also does it job.
When I'm in http://example.com/id and I want to sign-up, there's a link which goes to http://example.com/id/account/signup. It actually goes to the sign-up page. But when I go to http://example.com and I tried to hover the sign-up link, the link becomes http://account/signup instead of http://example.com/account/signup.
I'm embarrassed to ask this question, but not sure what the syntax is to call a URL from within a controller (not associated with the application).
The reason I need to do this is because I am sharing authentication with another webforms app and would like to clear out the session variables before rerouting to that other URL. I'm just not sure of the syntax to route from an Action method to a URL like www.microsoft.com?
with a catch all route, how would you get the url into the params of the controller action?

I'm using a custom route to create the following URL (http://mysite/subscriber/12345) where 12345 is the subscriber number. I want it to run the ShowAll action in the Subscriber controller. My route is firing and using Phil's route debugger, when I pass in the above url, the route debugger shows ID as 12345.
My controller is accepting an int as subscriberID. When it fires, the controller throws the error "The parameters dictionary contains a null entry for parameter 'id' of non-nullable type 'System.Int32". Why does the route debugger show a value and the controller doesn't see it?
Here's my route (first one is the culprit)
routes.MapRoute(
"SubscriberAll",
"subscriber/{id}",
new { controller = "Subscriber", action = "ShowAll", id=0 },
new { id = @"d+" } //confirm numeric
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
I'm getting a null in the ShowAll action? Here is the action method signature:
public ActionResult ShowAll(int id)
I have two different controllers, say controllerA and controllerB, Now from within controllerA I have to redirect with some parameters to controllerB and inside controllerA i wrote RedirectToAction("ControllerBAction", new { keywords = text }); How do I define the routes in global.asax.cs?
View 1 RepliesI 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:
/Language/{LanguageID}/Arabic/Question/{QuestionID}/Some-Question-Title
Where "Arabic" and "Some-Question-Title" can be almost anything because what really matters is the ID's
A complete url example might be
[URL]
Am I going beyond what can be done with the extended URL past the language ID?
If I have a controller and I want to return a view based on what my conditional logic goes to, is that possible? I have different types of models that i want to insert into a view DEPENDING on my conditional logic (if statements) Can i do this? and how would I do this
View 2 RepliesI have an application that has an public 'end user' mode and a 'back office' mode. Both 'modes' pretty much share the same controller logic but the user interfaces for these different 'modes' are radically different. Using the out of box default routing that you get when a project is created for the first time I have something like the following:
Controllers
HomeController.cs
Views
BackOffice
Index.aspx
Public
Index.aspx
Shared
BackOfficeSite.Master
PublicSite.Master
In my HomeController.cs I have logic that looks like this:
public ActionResult Index()
{
var devices = DeviceRepository.FindDevicesByCustomer(100);
if(IsBackOffice())
{
return View(@"~/Views/BackOffice/Index.aspx", devices);
}
return View(@"~/Views/Public/Index.aspx", devices);
}
Is this the correct way to be doing this or am I digging myself an anti-pattern hole? I'm using ASP.NET MVC 2.

I create a user control named ExampleControl and add <%@ Register src="ExampleControl.ascx" tagname="ExampleControl" tagprefix="uc1" %> to aa.aspx file So I can use ExampleControl cw = Panel1.FindControl("ExampleControl1") as ExampleControl in the file aa.aspx.cs
Now I hope to use ExampleControl cw = Panel1.FindControl("ExampleControl1") as ExampleControl in a .CS file located App_Code folder, but I get the following error, how can I do?
Error 4 The type or namespace name 'ExampleControl' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

What I need to know here is the Controller Action, and the Global.asax routes
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.
context.MapRoute(
"Forum_subcategory",
"Forum/{controller}/{action}/{category}/{subcategory}",
new { controller = "View", action = "ListThreads", category = "", subcategory = "" }
);
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...
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)

i have a client that needs me to create a custom view on thier webpage similar to Microsoft Word.
It goes about that, when I click on an image it redirects me to another page and must create a custom view for a certain paragraph on that page. I am not sure how to do this and wonder if anyone knows how.
I am using C# programming language if that helps at all. I Heard that using javascript would work but i dont know javascript yet so is there any alternative?
I tried to mix asp.net 4 webfrom and ASp.Net MVC 3. I add required lines in webconfig, but I've issues implementing route in global.asax
Currently I use several routes for webfroms. routs template are like below

"article/sport/{nID}/", _
"~/article/articleview.aspx")

"{controller}/{action}/{id}", _
New With {.controller = "Home", .action = "Index", .id = UrlParameter.Optional} _

I want to know how could I mix ASp.Net MVC routes with webforms routes.
How can I add a sub folder within the Views folder for a controller?
I have a controller named "admin". In the Views folder, there is an "admin" folder.
The admin controller has a number of actions. For each group of actions, there is a partial class that contains the actions of the group. admin/reports, admin/inventory, admin/orders, ... Problem is, when I move the "ReportsIndex.aspx" view into folder Views/Admin/Reports, MVC says it cant find the view when the ReportsIndex action method does a "return View("ReportsIndex", model) ;".
when i run the app i got this error
A route named 'Admin_default' is already in the route collection. Route names must be unique.
Parameter name: name
this is my AdminAreaRegistration
