Good morning/Afternoon
I have a view folder with another folder and then the view name
~Views/Edit/Edit.cshtml
I would like to keep the structure like that if possible, but the problem lies within the URL
It is currently showing
http://localhost:63672/Edit/Edit/4
I would like it to show
http://localhost:63672/Edit/4
Without the ID in the URL as well if possible, but that is a separate problem.
How do I achieve this?
My routeconfig currently shows
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Login", action = "Login", id = UrlParameter.Optional
}
Thanks
We can specify a route for Edit. Add this above the "Default" route currently in your routeConfig
Example
routes.MapRoute(
"Edit", // Route name
"Edit/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Edit", action = "Edit", id = UrlParameter.Optional });

Situation
I'll build my URL like follow:
The overview page on / (at HomeController).
The detail page on /details/123 instead of /home/details/123 knowing that 123 always is a number (at HomeController).
An info page on /info instead of /home/info (at HomeController).
The logon page on /account/signin (at AccountController).
I've don't have more pages on my application.
Try 1
I've created two routes like follow:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Home",
url: "{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
The problem is that the account page gives a 404. The other pages works.
Try 2
I've created one route like below:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
On each method inside the HomeController added a the Route attribute with the correct URL.
The problem is now that the overview and logon pages works the others gives now a 404.
Question
How could I remove the home directory from the URL with ASP.NET MVC?
To use attribute routes you need to add
routes.MapMvcAttributeRoutes();
to your RouteConfig.cs file.
It should go before your default route.
I have been struggling with this for a lot of days now. I am a novice to MVC and I m stuck with these issues. I have a mvc application. Following is my route.config file which I understand from a previous post is not proper. My pages are fairly straightforward, there are no query strings, except for one page. every page is controller/view format. What would be the correct routing config for such a configuration. If somebody can help me with that with a little explanation it ll be great. When I deploy that application in IIS, I m having trouble bcoz of this routing.
when I deploy in IIS and I do a browse it directly goes to my login page which is good but internally its going to
http://localhost/Home/accountdetails
instead of going to
http://localhost/MyWebsite/Home/accountdetails
due to which I m getting a 404 error.I don understand how to set this up. Also my images which are in content folder are not showing up either bcoz they are referring to
http://localhost/Content/Images/myimage
while they are actually under
http://localhost/MySite/Content/Images/myimage
how can I correct these issues. Please provide some assistance here.
Here is my route.config
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Home",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new
{
controller = "Home",
action = "Login",
id =
UrlParameter.Optional
}
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Invoice",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{q}",
defaults: new
{
controller = "Home",
action = "GetInvoice",
id =
UrlParameter.Optional
}
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Error",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new
{
controller = "Home",
action = "Error",
id =
UrlParameter.Optional
}
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "ResetPassword",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new
{
controller = "Home",
action = "ResetPassword",
id
= UrlParameter.Optional
}
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Accounts",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new
{
controller = "Home",
action = "AccountStatus",
id
= UrlParameter.Optional
}
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Register",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new
{
controller = "Home",
action = "Register",
id =
UrlParameter.Optional
}
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new
{
controller = "Home",
action = "Login",
id =
UrlParameter.Optional
}
);
}
}
Update
For images I am setting the background image as below
<div class="bannerOuter" style="background-image: url('../../Content/Images/AccountStatus_cropped-23.jpg');">
but after publishing when I run the application and I press f12 I see that its referring to the below url for the image and throws a 404 error.
http://localhost/Content/Images/Accounts_cropped-23.jpg
But I can browse to it if I change the url to add my website name that I specified in IIS.
http://localhost/MyWebsite/Content/Images/Accounts_cropped-23.jpg
So this is the problem what should be my image path in this case.
Edit
#Html.EncodedActionLink(string.Format("{0} Statement", #Convert.ToDateTime(#invoiceItem.InvoiceDate).ToString("MMMM")), "GetInvoice", "Home", new { accountNumber = Model.CustomerModel.AccountNumber, dueDate = (Convert.ToDateTime(invoiceItem.DueDate).ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy")) }, new { target = "_blank", #class = "Link" })
So the url here is coming as
http://localhost/Home/GetInvoice?q=ZDmgxmJVjTEfvmkpyl8GGWP4XHfvR%2fyCFJlJM1s0vKj4J6lYJWyEA4QHBMb7kUJq
how can I change it to be
http://localhost/MySite/Home/GetInvoice?q=ZDmgxmJVjTEfvmkpyl8GGWP4XHfvR%2fyCFJlJM1s0vKj4J6lYJWyEA4QHBMb7kUJq
Relative paths in inline CSS are problematic because it will be relative to the current URL. So if you go to http://localhost/MySite/Home/Login you will need to use ../../Content/myimage.png. But, if you go to http://localhost/MySite, the default controller and action (Home/Login) from route.config will kick in, and now the relative path to the image is Content/myimage.png because the controller and action are not explicitly in the URL. The same problem will happen if you go to http://localhost/MySite/Home; the default action (Login) will be used and the relative path is ../Content/myimage.png.
The best solution is to use styles in CSS files and not use inline styles; that way, the image URLs are always relative to the CSS file, whose URL never varies. Just be aware if you use bundling in BundleConfig.cs you need to make sure the path stays consistent MVC Bundling and CSS relative URLs
But if you need to use inline styles, you can use #Url.Content() to always get the correct path, with ~ being the root of your app:
style="background-image: url('#Url.Content("~/Content/myimage.png")'"
I am using MVC 4 and need to remove /Home/ folder from address bar...
Eg:
http://localhost:61700/Home/AboutUs
Need to be changed as...
http://localhost:61700/AboutUs
I did that by changing the default controller in "RouteConfig.cs"
public class RouteConfig
{
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
//url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
url: "{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
}
}
The above code is working as expected. I do have another folders as
brand, admin etc... here I want to show the url as
http://localhost:61700/brand/productInfo ... But I am getting server
error here as Server Error in '/' Application.
Can somebody suggest me, where am I doing wrong?
Screenshots here for more info:
This is your current RouteConfig.cs configuration:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
You're telling Asp.net, when a request arrives, assume the first parameter as the action and the second parameter as the id. Right now you're not telling Asp.net to parse any parameter as the controller. Because of this it uses the default value (given as the third parameter of the MapRoute method) which is in this case Home.
In that case when parsing the request http://localhost:61700/AboutUs the values end up being:
controller: Home (it uses the default controller)
action: AboutUs (from the first parameter)
id: null (this doesn't matter right now)
When parsing the request http://localhost:61700/brand/productInfo the values end up being:
controller: Home (it uses the default controller because you haven't specified where to get the controller name from)
action: Brand (from the first parameter)
id: "productInfo"
The error you're getting is because there isn't a Brand action method in HomeController.cs with a parameter of type string named id.
Asp.net processes incoming requests by trying to match with the routes configured and it uses the first route that matches.
There are several ways to achieve what you want, which include but are not limited to:
Manually mapping every action in your HomeController.cs (choosing this method will depend on the amount of actions in your HomeController). This would look like:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "AboutUs",
url: "AboutUs",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "AboutUs" }
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "ContactUs",
url: "ContactUs",
defaults: new {controller = "Home", action = "ContactUs" }
);
// etc...
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
Note how the default route is the last one, this is important because it is less specific than the others and if put before would match the request and want to look for an AboutUsController.
You could use route constraints. This would look like:
route.MapRoute(
name: "HomeControllerRoutes",
url: "{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
constraints: new { action = "AboutUs|ContactUs|etc..." } //Here you would put all your action methods from home controller that you want to accces as /{action}
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
If you want to read more about route constraints, I found this article that explains that the constrains parameter can receive a regular expression (I suggest you modify the regular expression above to make it case insensitive) or an IRouteConstraint.
Update:
I just read your comment about having 160+ actions in your HomeController that would make your regular expression in my second suggestion quite long. In that case the other options you have could be:
Using a regular expression that rejects all other controller names, but that would violate the open/closed principle (OCP) and every time you add another controller you would have to add it to the regular expression.
Create the regular expression from the metadata of you HomeController class. This would look like
string.Join("|", typeof(HomeController).GetMethods().Select(info => info.Name))
Or you could take a look at IRouteConstraint to see if you could figure out a more elegant solution.
I have no experience with IRouteConstraint
Add this in your route.config / glibal.asax and don't change your default routes. Add following above it.
routes.MapRoute(
name: "About",
url: "AboutUs",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "AboutUs" }
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
I have 160+ views in the home controller
You don't mention how many views you have in the other controllers, nor how complicated they need to be.
Rather than keep the default controller/action and add routes for every view in home, you can add a route for each controller and then have your default route without a controller path.
While this means you do need a route for every controller, it's better than one for every view.
routes.MapRoute(
"AdminRoute",
"Admin/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Admin", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional });
routes.MapRoute(
"BrandRoute",
"Brand/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Brand", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional });
routes.MapRoute(
"HomeRoute",
"{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional });
routes.MapRoute(
"DefaultRoute",
"{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional });
(afaicr you don't need the default route as all your views would be covered by the other 3 routes)
Note the path for 'HomeRoute' doesn't have a controller part.
As long as they are in this order any url with /Admin/ or /Brand/ will be picked up first.
I'm having trouble doing what I want to achieve when doing routing in ASP.NET MVC.
What I want to do is the following:
When typing http://localhost/MyWebsite/, I want to redirect to http://localhost/MyWebsite/Login/ (The redirection to the action Index is implied here)
When typing http://localhost/MyWebsite/MyAction, I want to redirect to http://localhost/MyWebsite/Login/MyAction
Point 1 was achieved using the following lines in the file RouteConfig.cs:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Login", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional });
But I cannot accomplish point 2. Note that the user does not come from another action in a controller, but actually types the address in his browser.
Thanks for your help.
since /MyWebsite/Login and /MyWebsite/MyAction both have two segments in the URL, they're both matching your defined Route.
You can use a Route Constraint to only match /MyWebsite/Login to your first point, followed by a modified second route mapping:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "MyWebsite/Login/",
defaults: new { controller = "Login", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional });
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Actions",
url: "MyWebsite/{action}/",
defaults: new { controller = "Login", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional });
i have two folder under view folder. one is Home and that has index.aspx file
another folder in view folder called DashBoard and that has MyDash.aspx
my routing code look like in global.asax
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(
"DashBoard", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "DashBoard", action = "MyDash", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
}
so when i type url like http://localhost:7221/ or http://localhost:7221/Home then index.aspx is being render from Home folder but when i type url like http://localhost:7221/DashBoard then page not found is coming but if i type like http://localhost:7221/DashBoard/MyDash then page is coming.
so what is wrong in my second routing code . why MyDash.aspx is not coming when i type url like http://localhost:7221/DashBoard. what is wrong?
what i need to change in my second routing code??
please have a look.....i am new in MVC. thanks
My UPDATE
when i change route entry in global.asax file then it started working.
can u please explain why....
routes.MapRoute(
"DashBoard",
"DashBoard/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "DashBoard", action = "MyDash", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
can i write routing code this way
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
new { controller = "DashBoard", action = "MyDash", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
same pattern for two url....please discuss in detail. thanks
The route names (1st parameter) have no impact on what action/controller gets invoked.
Your 2 route patterns, however, (2nd paramters of routes.MapRoute) are identical :
"{controller}/{action}/{id}"
... so anything that would be matched by the 2nd pattern gets caught by the first pattern. Therefore they're all getting mapped by the first map definition.
http://localhost:7221/Home works because it matches the first pattern, and presumably, the Index action exists inside your Home controller.
http://localhost:7221/DashBoard/MyDash works because, even though it's getting matched by the 1st route, it overrides the default action/controller (Home/Index) by the route parameters passed in through the URL (DashBoard/MyDash).
http://localhost:7221/DashBoard doesn't work because it's getting picked up by the first route pattern, but you didn't pass in an action name, so it looks for the default -- Index -- which I'm guessing you haven't set up within the DashBoard controller.
UPDATE (how to fix the problem):
So if you want http://localhost:7221/DashBoard to map to Controller named DashBoard with an action named MyDash, while still allowing other patterns to be picked up by {controller}/{action}/{id} delete your 2nd route, and place this one as the 1st route:
routes.MapRoute(
"DashBoard",
"DashBoard/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "DashBoard", action = "MyDash", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
This is a more specific route, so it needs to go before the catch-all {controller}/{action}/{id}. Nothing that doesn't start with /DashBoard will get picked up by it.
