I am working on a website in asp.net mvc. I have a route
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
ew { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
When a user clicks on a link, I want to log some information. I can't do an AJAX request because if they clicked on a link, the page will unload (since they're going to a new page), and I don't want to force them to stay on the page until a synchronous event finishes. So one idea I had was to add a parameter to the url. I.e. the urls would be actual/action?actualParams&infoIWantToLog=data. Then I could strip off the info I want to log, log that, and then pass off their URL to the action which they actually wanted to go to. Is this possible to do with MVC routing?
View 1 RepliesI am learning .net and building a site that uses url routing. I have it working although when attempting to get data from a database i am having to pass a ID parameter such as:
services/{id}/{category}/{subcategory}
portfolio/{id}/{category}/{title}
blog/{date}/{id}/{title}
I have seen websites that do the same thing but they don't appear to be passing an ID parameter, how do they acheive this?
if they wanted the information on a particular service as per the link above would you just run an SQL query looking for a match on the subcategory name or for a blog post you look for a match on the blog title and date?
It just seems a bit strange to me and if you have people adding blog posts etc there is always the slim possibility of more than one match.
I'm starting a port of an existing ASP.NET Web Forms CMS to ASP.NET MVC and want to get the routing right from the start.Note: it isn't important to have the exact same URL structure.I think this answer is close to what I'm looking for but would like some additional input should anyone have it.

I would like to have two different welcome pages for a site.How could I handle this? I've looked at routing but I'm not sure if global.asax.cs is the correct place to place this into.
www.mycompany.com should display generic information. Displaying view Home/Default.aspx
www.mycompany.com?id=1 should display welcome customer x. Displaying view Home/Welcome.aspx
This question is related to the asp.nt 4.0 routingI have a URL http://www.asp.net?CountryID=65&CountryName=Singaporeafter implementing routing i will get the URL as http://www.asp.net/65/Singapore/is there any way i can use the URL as http://www.asp.net/Singapore/its possible after removing the parameter CountryID, but the problem am facing here is, I also want to access the value 65 in the redirected page.

I tried everything I could find, but still does not work on IIS routing.
View 2 RepliesI am using:
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:

But I am still getting the above error.
What else am I supposed to do fix the error?
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
});
How to handle both pages, as one is custom web form while other is asp.net mvc view?
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?
I've a MDX Query that has where clause as shown below.I'm designing report using SSRS 2008. How can i pass date as parameter? I tried to setup @from and @to as parameter but not working?
WHERE ( {[Date Central].[Calendar Date].[2010-04-01 00:00:00]:[Date Central].[Calendar Date].[2010-08-30 00:00:00]} )
need it to work as
WHERE ( {[Date Central].[Calendar Date].[@From]:[Date Central].[Calendar Date].[@To]} )
Is it possible to change a parameter's property after the uer has made a selection or filled in another parameter field? I'm using VS2005
Case:
- 3 parameter fields; Country,Station,Carrier all three are textfields and are allowed to stay 'blank'.
- When the user enters a Country-code in the 'Country' parameter field, the 'Carrier' parameter should become a required field.
I did some searching on the net, but haven't found the solution. I started to wonder if it's actually possible?
I have a parameter Owner with 1,2,3 options in dropdown.
On selection of option 1 , a country parameter should be enabled with all countries' values defaulted.
Option 2 should enable Region parameter with all the Regions values selected and country parameter should be displayed.
Option 3 should disable both Region & Country Parameter.
I am using SSRS 2005 with Enesys tool as add on.
One of our customers has a report with a single value string parameter that has over 1000+ possible values. selecting single value from 1000+ choices results in bad UI, among other things.create another parameter that acts a filter for the other parameter. So you would have Param1 with say 25 choices and selecting a choice would narrow down the option for the second parameter.Is this the best way. What is the best practice for handling these kinds of parameters?
View 5 RepliesHow do you use the http POST method with a Grid View on another page. I am trying to use the POST method to send the ID from the selected row of a Grid View, I am using a link button set to fire the select command and it has the Post Back URL set, from one page and then retrieve the ID value on another page using an Object Data Source. Also, under the Defining Parameters, I am setting the ID parameter to Form Parameter Source and have entered the Grid Views name in the Form Field.
View 4 RepliesI consider the following an error, and not a feature:
When posting a request, any parameters are held in the HttpContext.Request.Form as key/value pairs. This is perfectly fine for the recipient of the request. Unfortunately, however, further down the chain these values still exist and take precedent in binding over new parameters created during processing.
This is obvious in the RenderAction scenario. If a new parameter is created in a view and passed through RenderAction, if the parameter has the same name as one of the initial request parameters (or a form field for that matter), then MVC Binding will bind the initial request form value to the Action being called, and not the new parameter being defined in the RenderAction call. What's even more frustrating, is there is no easy way to override the initial form values.
It really does not make sense that a value defined in one context, should live throughout the entire processing context... at least without the developer being able to determine it should remain. At a minimum, any new parameter defined in the process with the same name should either a) be received as a parameter and not a form value; or b) override the form value.
I'm currently using URL Rewriting, but I recently stumbled upon this link on Rerouting, and it looks like it's quite simple yet powerful, and easier to implement than URL Rewriting, a "downside" probably is that configurations are not sitting on a web.config file but rather on the code itself, but I was wondering about the differences, and advantages of using one over the other. Having read some resources about routing, I can see the differences, and now I reformulate my question:
Is it worth it to move from URL Rewriting to Routing?
Are there any IIS-specific configurations that should be made?
Is it recommended to use it on a ASP.NET WebForms Application, or is it oriented to other kind of projects?
I've been doing research for a few days now and I know that I want to do ASP Routing over Rewriting. I found this great article:http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/051309-1.aspx and also
http://blogs.msdn.com/mikeormond/archive/2008/05/14/using-asp-net-routing-independent-of-mvc.aspx. I write in VB.NET, these two articles are written in C#. I converted the code, but I must be missing something because my routing doesn't work correctly.
I was able to download the code from 4guys and it works fine. I found some differences between my results and theirs when I stepped through error checking. I added the 3 lines to the web.config file:
<system.web>
<httpModules>
<add name="UrlRoutingModule" type="System.Web.Routing.UrlRoutingModule, System.Web.Routing, Version=3.5.0.0,[code]....
I right clicked on my project and added a reference to the System.Web.Routing dll.I created a Global.asax file in the root directory.
<%@ Application Language="VB" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Web.Routing" %>
<script runat="server"> [code]....
Theirs shows the correct value of whatever you click on The requestContext variable, > HttpContext > System.Web.HttpContextWrapper > Request > System.Web.HttpRequestWrapper > PhysicalPath = "C:UsersNvXDesktopMyWebsiteWebResource.axd"
Theirs shows PhysicalPath = "C:\Users\NvX\Desktop\RoutingDemo\Products\Pavlova" (Pavlova was the link I clicked on)
When I query the database using LINQ, it never finds WebResource.axd and redirects to the NotFound.aspx page. When I load Default.aspx, I want it to load that page. If I type /tjnevis (which is a username in the database), I want it to go to a page where I can put together a profile, pulling the information for that username, which I can figure out. It's the routing that I'm having trouble with. If I could get it to work correctly, I think the PhysicalPath should look similar to the 4guys example I downloaded.
I have an ASP.NET MVC app and I have a WebForm page I built in the MVC due to a tutorial on how to do something I needed to do, but it was all in WebForm style. Ive tried to figure out how to do the same thing in MVC format but cant figure it out. So I was needing to figure out how to use this page in my MVC app. But when I try to go to the page, it gives me the error "Page cannot be derived from ViewMasterPage unless Page derives from ViewPage." So I had to make a new standard MasterPage also.
The situation is this. I have a search bar located in the MVC ViewMasterPage thats on every page that is derived from it. Once a user submits info in the search bar, it calls the WebForm Search.aspx page and displays the results on the Search.aspx page. I want the URL to be like "http:///search//. The Search.aspx page is located in the root of the project. How would I get the results Im looking for?
I have a url which will take the following form:
/AuditReview/Review/15d49a66-5c11-492c-921f-9e1700bd2618
I cannot get this to route, my routes look like this:
MvcRoute.MappUrl("{controller}.mvc.aspx/{action}/{auditEventUid}")
.WithDefaults(new {controller = "AuditReview", action = "Review"})
.WithConstraints(new { controller = "AuditReview", action ="Review", auditEventUid = new GuidConstraint() });
MvcRoute.MappUrl("admin/{controller}.mvc.aspx/{action}")
.WithDefaults(new { controller = "audit", action = "index" })
.WithConstraints(new{controller = "audit"})
.AddWithName("admin", routes);
MvcRoute.MappUrl("{controller}.mvc.aspx/{action}")
.WithDefaults(new {action = "Index"})
.AddWithName("Default", routes);
