I believe this has to be very easy but I just cant figure it out.
I have custom route
routes.MapRoute(
name: "DefaultLocalized",
url: "{language}/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { language = "EN", controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
In the controller i have
protected override void Initialize(System.Web.Routing.RequestContext requestContext)
{
base.Initialize(requestContext);
ViewBag.language = Internationalization.SetCultureFromUrl(requestContext, "EN");
}
and the question is, how to specify language attribute in #Html.ActionLink ?

I have some problems using Areas in my MVC project. I'm able to access my controller, which is located under the area, but when it returns to view (with model), I get an error:
The view 'Index' or its master was not found or no view engine
supports the searched locations.The following locations were searched:
~/Views/MyController/Index.aspx ~/Views/MyController/Index.ascx etc.
Here is the MyAreaAreaRegistration:
public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context)
{
context.MapRoute(
"MyArea_default",
"MyArea/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "MyController", action = "Index",
id = UrlParameter.Optional });
}
Routeconfig:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default", // Route name
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
namespaces: new[] { "MyApp.Controllers" }
);
Global.asax:
protected void Application_Start()
{
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
...
RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
}
And controller:
return View(myViewModel);
I'm totally stuck with this one. Any help would be much appreciated.
Please change your route config code .
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default", // Route name
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
).DataTokens.Add("area", "MyArea"); ;
It will be work for you .
Thanks .
I have a route configured like
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "TEST/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
It works fine to redirect to respective controller and actions.
I want to add another redirection on TEST so that if somebody uses www.mysite.com/TEST, it should redirect www.mysite.com/Test/Home instead of giving 403- Forbidden: Access is denied error.
I'm trying like this but could not achieve it.
routes.MapRoute(
name: "AnotherDefault",
url: "TEST",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
Basically, what I'm trying to do is to redirect from www.mysite.com or www.mysite.com/TEST to www.mysite.com/TEST/Home
To add to the confusion, I also had a physical folder TEST in my application root. Just wondering if keeping another web.config in there would solve? I tried but of no luck
Please advise what i'm missing here. Thanks
After some experiment I have found that the physical folder TEST is causing redirection rule to fail. I changed my route to TEST1 in URL instead of TEST, it worked. But, I can't rename TEST folder. Please advise
Please set the property RouteExistingFiles to true above the Route configurations
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.RouteExistingFiles = true;
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "TEST/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
}
This should allow you to keep the name of folder and also the route name to be "TEST". Let me know how it works out for you
Keep using the first route:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "TEST/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
and add this in your Web.config:
<system.webServer>
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"></modules>
<handlers>
<remove name="UrlRoutingHandler"/>
</handlers>
</system.webServer>
We Can manage url routing by validate from database.
public class RouteConfig
{
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
// here i pass my parameter like wwww.abc.com/country-state-city
routes.MapLocalizedRoute("SeoFriendlyUrl",
"{SeoFriendlyName}",
new { controller = "Company", action = "Index" },
new[] { "MigrationTest.Controllers" });
// it is default
routes.MapRoute( name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
}
}
public static class LocalizedRouteExtensionMethod
{
public static Route MapLocalizedRoute(this RouteCollection routes, string name, string url, object defaults, string[] namespaces)
{
return MapLocalizedRoute(routes, name, url, defaults, null /* constraints */, namespaces);
}
public static Route MapLocalizedRoute(this RouteCollection routes, string name, string url, object defaults, object constraints, string[] namespaces)
{
if (routes == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("routes");
}
if (url == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("url");
}
var route = new clsRouteData(url, new MvcRouteHandler())
{
Defaults = new RouteValueDictionary(defaults),
Constraints = new RouteValueDictionary(constraints),
DataTokens = new RouteValueDictionary()
};
if ((namespaces != null) && (namespaces.Length > 0))
{
route.DataTokens["Namespaces"] = namespaces;
}
routes.Add(name, route);
return route;
}
}
public class clsRouteData : Route
{
public clsRouteData(string url, IRouteHandler routeHandler)
: base(url, routeHandler)
{
}
public override RouteData GetRouteData(HttpContextBase httpContext)
{
RouteData data = base.GetRouteData(httpContext);
if (data != null)
{
var SeoFriendliyName = data.Values["SeoFriendlyName"] as string;
if (SeoFriendliyName=="india-raj-jaipur")
{
data.Values["controller"] = "City";
data.Values["action"] = "Index";
// Can be send parameter
//data.Values["Id"] = Resutls.Id;
}
}
else
{
data.Values["controller"] = "Norecord";
data.Values["action"] = "Index";
// Can be send parameter
//data.Values["Id"] = Resutls.Id;
}
return data;
}
}
Does any body knows how to hide some parameters in url?
For example you have a url parameter "culture". It can be "en, fr, it".
By default your site renders in "en" culture and we don't wont to show default culture in the URL but in cases of other cultures parameter "culture" must appear in URL.
http://myrendersite.net/barbikueue
http://myrendersite.net/fr/barbikueue
This is same pages in different cultures.
How to do what basing on default asp.net mvc routing system?
This will help:
ASP.NET mvc, localized routes and the default language for the user
asp.net mvc localization
Set Culture in an ASP.Net MVC app
You have to register two routes:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "DefaultLang",
url: "{language}/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
constraints: new { language = "[a-z]{2}"}
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
Create an Attribute that inherits ActionFilterAttribute:
public class LanguageActionFilterAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
{
var routeDataKey = "language";
var defaultLang = "en";
var defaultCulture = "EN";
// if no language route param received
if (filterContext.RouteData.Values[routeDataKey] == null /* && currentCulture != "en-EN" */)
{
// change culture to en-EN
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo(string.Format("{0}-{1}", defaultLang, defaultCulture));
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo(string.Format("{0}-{1}", defaultLang, defaultCulture));
}
else
{
/*if (currentCulture != "whatever")
{
//set culture to whatever
}*/
}
base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext);
}
}
After that create a BaseController with the previous created attribute:
[LanguageActionFilter]
public abstract class BaseController : Controller
{
}
And all your Controllers will inherit BaseController now, instead of Controller
The following RouteConstraint might help,
public class CultureConstraint : IRouteConstraint
{
public bool Match(HttpContextBase httpContext, Route route, string parameterName, RouteValueDictionary values,
RouteDirection routeDirection)
{
if (routeDirection == RouteDirection.UrlGeneration)
{
return values[parameterName] != null &&
(route.Defaults[parameterName] == null ||
values[parameterName].ToString().ToLower() != route.Defaults[parameterName].ToString().ToLower());
}
return true;
}
}
Use it as,
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Culture",
url: "{culture}/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new {culture = "en", controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional},
constraints: new {culture = new CultureConstraint()}
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new {controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional}
);
Here the constraint only works on outbound url and discard the route for candidacy when 'culture' in route information equals to default.
I used the simplest implementation because you have not posted your route code, but the idea should work.
hope this helps.
please I need help with this scenario:
I have an Area "\UI" with one Controller "ActionController" and his View "Login.cshtml" also in his UIAreaRegistration class:
public class UIAreaRegistration : AreaRegistration
{
public override string AreaName
{
get { return "UI"; }
}
public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context)
{
context.MapRoute(
"UI_default",
"UI/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Account", action = "Login", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
}
}
Now I want Login.cshtml to be the first view of the app.
Then in 'RegisterRoutes' of global.asax.cs I have:
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
//Default
//routes.MapRoute(
// name: "Default",
// url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
// namespaces: new[] { "", "" },
// defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
//);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{area}/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { area = "UI", controller = "Account", action = "Login", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
But didn't work, please what should I do?
Thanks in advance
What you are trying to do is to make your UI area a default area, so any controller in UI will be accessible without UI prefix in URL.
The problem with that is that the controllers which are in root folder will no longer be accessible. If it is what you want you can do it by changing the area route registration from :
public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context)
{
context.MapRoute(
"UI_default",
"UI/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Account", action = "Login", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
}
to:
public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context)
{
context.MapRoute(
"UI_default",
"{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Account", action = "Login", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
}
Easier solution will be to create an action on the default controller which will redirect user to your area
Is it possible to create a different default route for a different user role?
e.g.
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Admin", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "totalrewardstatement", action = "Details", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
}
Have the default route above for normal users but use the admin one if an admin user logs in?
Role based routing is not supported in MVC. What you do is have default controller which checks for the roles and redirect to that controller
public ActionResult Index()
{
if (User.IsInRole("Supervisor"))
{
return RedirectToAction("Index", "InvitationS");
}
return View();
}

Using a custom RouteConstraint did the trick for me on mvc 5.
public class RoleConstraint : IRouteConstraint
{
public bool Match
(
HttpContextBase httpContext,
Route route,
string parameterName,
RouteValueDictionary values,
RouteDirection routeDirection
)
{
return httpContext.User.IsInRole(parameterName) ;
}
}
RouteConfig.cs
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Reader_Home",
url: "",
defaults: new { controller = "Reader", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
constraints: new { reader_role = new RoleConstraint() }
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Author_Home",
url: "",
defaults: new { controller = "Publication", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
constraints: new { author_role = new RoleConstraint() }
);
I'm using the parameterName (author_role and reader_role) as the role name to check for simplification.
