I have a the following default route set up and it works fine:
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
Here is an example of successful route for me: "/PositionDetail/Candidates/2"
This is all fine and dandy, but the issue I have is that I want to set up a route that goes deeper. i.e. "/PositionDetail/Candidates/2/GetMoreCandidates" and "/PositionDetail/Candidates/2/Resume/3" where the Resume would be another action that I want to perform, and 3 would be ID. Note: Each of these route will load a new page, and not some partial view.
How do I set something up like this, and what would the 'PositionDetail' Controller Look like?
For example, for second task it may be as follows:
public ActionResult Resume(int CandidateID, int ResumeID)
{
return View();
}
In your Routing:
routes.MapRoute(
"Resume", // Route name
"{controller}/Candidates/{CandidateID}/{action}/{ResumeID}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "PositionDetail", action = "Resume", CandidateID = UrlParameter.Optional, ResumeID= UrlParameter.Optional }
);
For fist task - the same logic

How can I replicate this default MVC route code below but to work with multiple ActionResults that are in the home controller. I want them to work just like Index where you do not need /Home/Index in the url to hit example.com/index
routes.MapRoute("Default", "{controller}/{action}/{id}", new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
I would like to hit example.com/about and example.com/contact without needing the the controller name in the beginning.
I have tried adding that same code but replaced Index with another action method and it works but it doesn't allow you to have more than 1 existing in this structure at the same time.
Solution?
Ok so I think I got it to work after reading this thread:
ASP.NET MVC - Removing controller name from URL
In the RouteConfig I added the following right before the default route:
routes.MapRoute(
"Root",
"{action}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
new { isMethodInHomeController = new RootRouteConstraint<HomeController>() }
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Default",
"{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
Then inside of the Controller whos name you are trying to remove from the URL you need to add this:
public class RootRouteConstraint<T> : IRouteConstraint
{
public bool Match(HttpContextBase httpContext, Route route, string parameterName, RouteValueDictionary values, RouteDirection routeDirection)
{
var rootMethodNames = typeof(T).GetMethods().Select(x => x.Name.ToLower());
return rootMethodNames.Contains(values["action"].ToString().ToLower());
}
}
Now if I go to example.com/about , it works and I don't have to use example.com/Home/About
I'm trying to create a new Route in MVC3 to achieve the link http://localhost/Product/1/abcxyz:
routes.MapRoute(
"ProductIndex", // Route name
"{controller}/{id}/{name}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Product", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional, name = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
And I used Route Link like this:
<li>#Html.RouteLink("My Link", "ProductIndex", new { controller = "Product", id = 10, name = "abcxyz" })</li>
Product Index action:
public ViewResult Index(int id, string name)
{
var product = db.Product.Include(t => t.SubCategory).Where(s => s.SubID == id);
return View(product.ToList());
}
The url render as I expected. But when I click on it, I got a 404 error with message
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
UPDATE
I place that Route above Default Route and the URL work fine. But there's a problem occure. My index page http://locahost point directly to Index action of Product controller, but I want it points to Index action of Home controller instead
It's because you have 2 optional parameters in your route and the engine can't work out which one to set the value to. See my answer to a similar issue here
You can create a specific route for your products controller first (with mandatory id) and then have the generic fallback route afterwards.
routes.MapRoute(
"ProductIndex", // Route name
"products/{id}/{name}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Product", action = "Index", name = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
Try it
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{id}/{name}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional, name = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
for routing details see this link. In this link every type of routing is discussed.
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/408227/Routing-in-MVC3
Here is my code:
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Admin", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Admin", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
}
for first link it works well if i go to:
localhost/song
localhost/date
etc. it opens all links under home controller.
But for second maproute:
localhost/admin
localhost/admin/index
- these link are not working? Can anyone please tell me what i am doing wrong?
First, your default route must be last in the list, not first.
Second, You have two default routes. There is no way for MVC to know which one to use, so it always chooses the first one that matches. Instead, your Url for the admin one should be "Admin/{action}/{id}"
In an MVC3 app I have a view in my home controller that is accessed via the following URL:
http://mysite.com/home/mycontent
However, my user wants to accees it via:
http://mysite.com/mycontent (without a specific reference to the home controller)
I've tried modifying my global.asax with the following:
routes.MapRoute(
"MyContent", // Route name
"MyContent", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "MyContent"} // Parameter defaults
);
But I get 404 errors when I try to use it. Is there a way I can accomplish what my user is wanting to do - redirecting a URL to a specific controller/view pair?
I think you should keep some "parameters":
routes.MapRoute(
"MyContent", // Route name
"{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "MyContent", id = ""} // Parameter defaults
);
In what order are your routes registered? That route should come before your default route.
E.g.
routes.MapRoute(
"MyContent", // Route name
"MyContent", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "MyContent"} // Parameter defaults
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Pages", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
Otherwise, it should work... I have routes defined exactly the same as that.
I have three specific routes:
routes.MapRoute(
"Home Page",
"",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" }
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Admin Section",
"AdminSection/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "AdminSection", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Listings",
"{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Listings", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
Basically, the first two routes work as planned, however, I want everything that isn't specifically in a route to be redirected to the listings controller.
I am still quite new to routing and have been trying to Google this for the past hour without any luck - I know exactly what is going on here, but, I don't know how to fix it.
I have used RouteDebugger, and I can see that it is hitting the route, but, the issue is that it will only go to the Listings controller if a controller is not specified - but, obviously there will always be something there.
I have tried a few different combinations - I thought I was on to a winner by removing the {controller} part of the URL and still defining the default value, but, I am not having much luck.
Does anyone know what I need to do?
How about this:
routes.MapRoute("Listings", "{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Listings", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional });
site.com/test :
It'll go to action: test, controller: listing, id = blank
Edit: As I understand it you want a catch-all route.
http://richarddingwall.name/2008/08/09/three-common-aspnet-mvc-url-routing-issues/
routes.MapRoute("Listings", "{*url}",
new { controller = "Listings", action = "Index" }
);
Original:
I can't test this at the moment but
routes.MapRoute(
"Listings",
"{anythingOtherThanController}/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Listings", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
This should work.
In your Listings controller, just accept a string parameter "anythingOtherThanController" and it will get bound to it.
The main problem here is that /some/action will be mapped to the same action as /another/action. So I'm not sure what you're trying to do here :)
Provide a default route and provide controller name as listings controller. Keep this route mapping at the bottom of all the mappings.
routes.MapRoute(
"Default",
"{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Listings", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
Sorry I got sequence mixed.
