This is my default route:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" }
);
My controller is "Home" and my view is "Index" and it takes these arguments with defaults:
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index(string Queue = "ALL", string Summary = "false")
{
...
}
}
My current URL looks like this:
http://www.example.com/?Queue=ONE&Summary=true
But I would like it to be routed to something like this:
http://www.example.com/ONE?Summary=true
Basically routing it so I don't have to use the Queue keyword in the URL.
Modify your route definition like below,
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{Queue}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", Queue = UrlParameter.Optional }
);

I am kinda blocked with some routing issues in my ASP.NET MVC application.
Let us assume I have 2 controllers which are:
TaskList Controller
Task Controller
I'm not sure if this is overkill or not but I am aiming to have URL's as follows:
For TaskList Controller:
localhost:xxxx/tasklist/Create
localhost:xxxx/tasklist/
localhost:xxxx/tasklist/Details/1
localhost:xxxx/tasklist/Edit/1
For Task Controller:
localhost:xxxx/tasklist/1/Task/Create
localhost:xxxx/tasklist/1/Task
localhost:xxxx/tasklist/1/Task/Details/11
localhost:xxxx/tasklist/1/Task/Edit/11
I have set up my routing as follows:
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" }
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "TaskListRoute",
url: "TaskList/{action}/{tasklistid}",
defaults: new { controller = "TaskList", action = "Index", tasklistid = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "TaskRoute",
url: "TaskList/{tasklistid}/{controller}/{action}/{taskid}",
defaults: new { tasklistid = UrlParameter.Optional, controller = "Task", action = "Index", taskid = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
Upon debugging the application, I am able to browse the TaskList controller with no problems but the moment I hit the following url on the Task Controller, I get a "Resource cannot be found" error:
http://localhost:xxxx/tasklist/1/Task
I have to type in the word "Index" like below in order for that page to work...
http://localhost:xxxx/tasklist/1/Task/Index
The method signature behind the above url is...
public class TaskController : Controller
{
// GET: Task
public ActionResult Index(int tasklistid)
{
//Some code here....
}
}
Any ideas where I wrong? Appreciate any advice.
Thanks in advance.
So after taking Nkosi's comment and NightOwl888's article into consideration all I had to do was modify the routing to look like the following:
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
name: "TaskRoute",
url: "TaskList/{tasklistid}/Task/{action}/{taskid}",
defaults: new { controller = "Task", action = "Index", taskid = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "TaskListRoute",
url: "TaskList/{action}/{tasklistid}",
defaults: new { controller = "TaskList", action = "Index", tasklistid = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" }
);
}
Basically did the following:
Adjust routing to be in following order:
TaskRoute
TaskListRoute
Default
In the TaskRoute, replaced '{controller}' with a literal like 'Task'
which is actually the name of the controller.
I hope this was the right thing to do.

I have a Login controller with an Index view that I want rendered at the url http://sitename/login. It works with I browse to http://sitename/login/index but I want to omit index from the URL. Here's my route config (default):
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Dashboards", action = "Dashboard_1", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
}
.. and the controller:
public class LoginController : Controller
{
// GET: Login
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
}
If you had left the Default route alone, it would do what you ask. You just have to set the default value for the action route value as Index.
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
Alternatively, you can insert an additional route to cover your Login controller.
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Login",
url: "login/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Login", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Dashboards", action = "Dashboard_1", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
A third option is to rename your LoginController.Index method to LoginController.Dashboard_1, since that is your default action name for every controller in the application.
I have two route with same signature but only the parameter names are different how to fix this issue.
Following is my code
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Account", action = "Login", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "DefaultRoute2",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{formSubmissionId}",
defaults: new { controller = "Employee", action = "Index", formSubmissionId = "formSubmissionId" }
);
The routes are meant to accept different URL structures. Both of your routes have same structure, so the first one will always match, and the second will never be tested.
Instead of using a different route, in /Employee/Index you should just use the parameter id.
public class EmployeeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index(string id)
{
string formSubmissionId = id;
}
}
The URL for that action would be the same that (I believe) you wanted to achieve with the second route: Employee/Index/id
UPDATE
I've just realized. If you only need the parameter formSubmissionId for the action /Employee/Index you could do this:
// Note the order of the routes:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "DefaultRoute2",
url: "Employee/Index/{formSubmissionId}",
defaults: new { controller = "Employee", action = "Index", formSubmissionId = "formSubmissionId" }
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Account", action = "Login", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
public class EmployeeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index(string formSubmissionId)
{
// ...
}
}
Now i fix this issue as
routes.MapRoute(
name: "DefaultActivity",
url: "{controller}/LoadActivity/{formSubmissionId}",
defaults: new { controller = "{controller}", action = "LoadActivity", formSubmissionId = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
this is work around of my scenario.
I have only default route enabled:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
Which will resove paths like: hostname/Home/Index, hostname/Home/Foo, hostname/Home/Bar/23 just fine.
But I must also enable route like this: hostname/{id} which should point
to:
Controller: Home
Action: Index
{id}: Index action parameter "id"
Is such a route even possible?
If id is a number you could add a route above the other one and define a regex constraint:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "IdOnlyRoute",
url: "{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" },
constraints: new { id = "^[0-9]+$" }
);
Not Tested :
Create your route like this
routes.MapRoute(
name: "custom",
url: "{controller}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
under your default route
Since I'm short on time, I have configured route for every action. Luckly there are not many of them. :)
routes.MapRoute(
name: "IndexWithParam",
url: "{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "IndexWithOutParam",
url: "",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" }
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Login",
url: "Home/Login",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Login" }
);
So last route was repeated for ever other action. Not sure if it can be done better, but it works.
Have you tried to play around with AttributeRouting package?
Then your code will look like this
[GET("/{id}", IsAbsoluteUrl = true)]
public ActionResult Index(string id) { /* ... */ }
I have a controller named Registration and an action method in it as the following:
public JsonResult GetReqs(GridSettings gridSettings, int rt)
{
...//whatever
return Json(jsonData, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
So I added a route and now my RouteConfig.cs is like this:
public class RouteConfig
{
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
name: "RegReq",
url: "{Registration}/{GetReqs}/{rt}",
defaults: new { controller = "Registration", action = "GetReqs", rt = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
}
}
However I can't access the rt parameter and the action method GetReqs isn't called(I set a breakpoint on it but nothing happened). Where is the mistake?
Edit: Link example I tried : ~/Registration/GetReqs/1
I think you need to remove the brackets in your first route:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "RegReq",
url: "Registration/GetReqs/{rt}",
defaults: new { controller = "Registration", action = "GetReqs",
rt = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
The default route has {controller} to tell MVC to use the string in that section of the url as the controller name. You know the controller, so you just need to match the specific string.
