What did I do http://localhost:11111/ doesn't work but http://localhost:11111/Home does? I've already tried Tools> Options > Open to start page and default start page
I think there's something wrong with routing. Check RouteConfig - there must be default route:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
pay attention on controller in defaults.
I know there is a lot topics with the same name, but none of those I've found so far, have provided the answer I need.
I'm creating a "dropbox" site for my students to upload their projects on when they have to submit them to me.
The thing is that the students are able to create folders and I would like(if possible) to display the url based on the "folders" they are able to create on the website.
Folders could look like.
Home
Project
Project 1
Project 1 v1
Project 1 v2
And so on.
project 2
Submit
Basic the path could be short or long depends on the folder level.
Like : Home or Project/Project-1-v1/ or Project/Project-1-v1/Upload/Final
Is there a way to create a dynamic url/action that accept any of the above Path's ?
This can be done fairly easy.
My RouteConfig.cs
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapMvcAttributeRoutes();
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
routes.MapRoute("CatchALL", "{controller}/{action}/{id}/{*catchall}",
new
{
controller = "Home",
action = "Index",
id = UrlParameter.Optional
});
My Controller
[Route("Home/{*catchall}")]
public ActionResult Part(string catchall)
{
return View();
}
If this was the url: http://stackoverflow.com/Home/36542665/dynamic-mvc-route catchall would contain = 36542665/dynamic-mvc-route
I am following through with plural sight video messageboard app. it was working fine and suddenly routing is not finding the controller; i put break point on maproute function and it gets hit but from there i get not found error; also another problem is that i cannot see the error page ( call stack\ stack trace\ the horrible yellow page) it appears for a fraction of a second and then disappears.
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
so please help me with both problems
I have the project structure (see below). When I launch the project I get this error (see below). Could you tell me the change I have to do, I'd like when I start the project go to MyAreas1\Home
Thanks,
Error message :
The view 'Index' or its master was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations. The following locations were searched:
~/Views/Home/Index.aspx
~/Views/Home/Index.ascx
~/Views/Shared/Index.aspx

You must set specified routing in Global.asax file
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"MyArea1/{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
So what you need is to edit your default route.
Try right click on the project >> properties>> Web>>
now check Specific Page option and type the controllerName/ActionName
routes.MapRoute(
"Area",
"",
new { area = "AreaName", controller = "ControllerName", action = "ActionName" }
);
I am running into the following error with my ASP.NET MVC 3 project:
Multiple types were found that match
the controller named 'Home'. This can
happen if the route that services this
request ('Home/{action}/{id}') does
not specify namespaces to search for a
controller that matches the request.
If this is the case, register this
route by calling an overload of the
'MapRoute' method that takes a
'namespaces' parameter.
The request for 'Home' has found the
following matching controllers:
MyCompany.MyProject.WebMvc.Controllers.HomeController
MyCompany.MyProject.WebMvc.Areas.Company.Controllers.HomeController
I have a HomeController in my default controller folder, with a class name of MyCompany.MyProject.WebMvc.Controllers.HomeController.
My RegisterRoutes method, in my global.asax, looks like:
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
);
}
I then have an area called Company, with a HomeController in the default controller folder for the area, with a class name of MyCompany.MyProject.WebMvc.Areas.Company.Controllers.HomeController.
The RegisterArea method in the CompanyAreaRegistration file looks like:
public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context)
{
context.MapRoute(
"Company_default",
"Company/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { area = "Company", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
}
This is all leading the error I highlighted at the beginning of this post. I am struggling trying to piece together a solution from various other posts, with NO LUCK.
Is it possible to have a HomeController in the default controllers folder and then one in EACH area? If so, do I need to make (assuming I do) changes to my configuration file to make this work?
Any help would be much appreciated!
The error message contains the recommended solution: "If this is the case, register this route by calling an overload of the 'MapRoute' method that takes a 'namespaces' parameter."
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }, // Parameter defaults
new string[] { "MyCompany.MyProject.WebMvc.Controllers"}
);
This will make http://server/ go to your HomeController's Index action which is, I think, what you want. http://server/company/home will go to the Company area's HomeController's Index action, as defined in the area registration.
This is the asp.net mvc4 approach:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "RegisterNow", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
namespaces: new[] { "YourCompany.Controllers" }
);
I had renamed the namespaces, so, i only delete de folders bin and obj and rebuild, work again.
If you're using RazorGenerator, just informing the namespaces parameter could be not enough.
I got to solve adding the statement marked below at Global.asax.cs:
protected void Application_Start()
{
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);
ControllerBuilder.Current.DefaultNamespaces.Add("MyProject.Controllers"); // This one
}
Another plausible cause of this issue could be found below:
Multiple types were found that match the controller named 'Home'
use this
routes.MapRoute(
"Default",
"{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
new[] { "ProjectName.Controllers" }
);
Use only the name of the project:
Public Class RouteConfig
Public Shared Sub RegisterRoutes(ByVal routes As RouteCollection)
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}")
routes.MapRoute( _
name:="Default", _
url:="{controller}/{action}/{id}", _
defaults:=New With {.controller = "Home", .action = "Index", .id = UrlParameter.Optional} _
, namespaces:={"MvcAreas"})
End Sub
I had the same issue and found that the older version had created compiled files in the "bin" folder.
Once I deleted these the error disappeared.
As Chris Moschini mention the namespaces parameter may not be enough if you have two areas with same controller name with different namespaces and the default none area route will return 500 server error.
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }, // Parameter defaults
new string[] { "MyCompany.MyProject.WebMvc.Controllers"}
);
It "best" to override the default route handler and add this line:
RequestContext.RouteData.DataTokens["UseNamespaceFallback"] = false;
I had this issue after I added a reference to another project that had the same routes and the problem continued after I removed the reference.
Resolved by deleting the .dll file of that added reference from the bin folder and rebuilding.
Like many others, I had this problem after creating a new MVC template project from VS2017 menu, on building the project I would get the op's error message. I then used the answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/15651619/2417292 posted earlier in this thread by cooloverride
for mvc4 projects.
This still didn't fix my issue so I renamed my Home view folder and HomeController file to be the view folder Company/ and controller file CompanyController. This then worked for me, not a fix per say but a workaround if your not stuck on having the route Home/Index my other issue was I couldn't find the reference causing the error and due to my dev platform being Azure WebApplication vs a full VM with a complete file system and IIS settings to mess with.
For MVC5 below code works for issue same controller name for different areas. You have to specify which area controller have to hit first.
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
new[] { "ApplicationName.Areas.AreaName.Controllers" }
).DataTokens.Add("area", "AreaName");
This issue occurred when I accidentally added
[Route("api/[controllers]s")]
instead of
[RoutePrefix("api/[controllers]s")]
to the top of my ApiController.
