I have an aspx page Test.aspx. It handles requests like
Test.aspx?First=value1&Second=value2&third=value3
How can I use routing to redirect this url to
TestController/MyAction?First=value1&Second=value2&third=value3
I know I can create an aspx and perform redirect in it`s page load. But seems ugly and I think it can be done with some custom route.
What I`ve tried was: this solution
but it didnt work for me.
I remember, that Test.aspx should not be on a disk. I don`t have it, and routing is still not working. Have no idea on what can cause this issue.
Have you tried adding a route like the following:
routes.MapRoute(
"Test",
"Test.aspx",
new { controller = "TestController", action = "Show" }
);
Just remember that the route will not work if the Test.aspx file is still on disk.
Also, ideally you would want to have a permanent redirect so the search engine links etc get updated to point to your new urls.

I have a working ASP.NET MVC application to which I would like to add a very simple URL which I would like to be redirected to another URL, without the Controller part of the path in it.
I.e. I want to be able to tell people to go to mySite.org/Hello and have it direct them to mySite.org/Whatever/WhateverElse?myfun=9, or whatever.
So I added a method in PublicController that redirects Hello to whatever, which works, except it requires me to tell people to go to mySite.org/PUBLIC/Hello, and we'd like to not have the extra word "public" in there.
Hours of confusing study later, I see that I could perhaps add a line in Global.asax.cs such as: routes.MapRoute(name: "Hello", url: "Public/Whatever"); ... or something... but that actually changes the way everything gets routed, and after trying various syntactical variations, nothing has seemed to just change one basic address to map to another basic address.
Is there a simple way to get mySite.org/Hello to map to another URL, without the virtual subdirectory for the public controller?
Create a custom route (it would need to be the first route in the table)
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Hello",
url: "Hello",
defaults: new { controller = "Whatever", action = "WhateverElse" }
);
then /Hello will redirect to /Whatever/WhateverElse
I am new to ASP.Net and working on MVC 4. I want to replace my current URL with a customized URL.
For example:
Current URL: http://www.testsite.com/home?pageId=1002
Desired URL: http://www.testsite.com/1002/home/
So the URL that is displayed in the address bar will be the desired one and actual URL working will be the current one.
I have tried URL routing in Global.asax file of my project but doesn't seems to be working for me.
What exactly I want is to put the URL Like this.
Thanks in Advance.
ASP.NET MVC 4 provide a toolbox way to write your application. The URL that you see in the browser comes from Routing that do the hard work to convert url to app routes and app routes to url.
1) The default ASP.NET MVC 4 Template project comes with a file at App_Start folder named RouteConfig, where you must config the routes for the app.
2) The routes has precedence order, so, put this route before the default one:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "RouteForPageId",
url: "{pageId}/{action}",
//controller = "Home" and action = "Index" are the default value,
//change for the Controller and action that you have
//pageId is the parameter from the action that will return the page
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" }
);
Now you can enter myappdomain/1220/index for exemple.
Hopes this help you! Take a look here for more info ASP.NET Routing!
I have an MVC3 Razor view which has a link that requires user login and its html is like this:
<a href="Home/Login?returnUrl=/myprojname/Product/Index">
and then an action method Login in homecontroller and a view. Which posts values to Logon action method.
inside the post action method I check if returnurl is not null then redirect to that URL. On local system it returns to this address
http://localhost:1235/myProjname/Product/Index
and works fine. But when I upload it to server (IIS 7), It returns to
http://domainname/myProjname/Product/Index
and gives 404 because there is no 'myProjname' there, If I remove the 'myprojname', it works with this url on live server
http://domainname/Product/Index
but for that I need to change href like this
<a href="Home/Login?returnUrl=/Product/Index">
In that case, It doesn't work with local system with URL
http://localhost:1235/Product/Index
Please suggest solution
Are you serious?
Okay, we'll i'll play along.
The solution is to create links properly, not hard code them.
#Html.ActionLink("Login", "Home", new { returnUrl = Url.Action("Index", "Product") })
On a side note, you probably don't need to pass returnUrl to the action. Pull it back from the Request.UrlReferrer.AbsoluteUri in the action method itself.
Not meaning to sound rude, but I strongly suggest you head over to http://www.asp.net/mvc and have a read/watch before proceeding any further.
using Url.Action and Url.Content helper methods will generate URLs relative to the application root, and avoid these problems.
Also, #Href("~/") will generate the full path to the application root (from a view).
I'm getting a strange error on my webserver for seemingly every file but the .aspx files.
Here is an example. Just replace '/robots.txt' with any .jpg name or .gif or whatever and you'll get the idea:
The controller for path '/robots.txt'
was not found or does not implement
IController.
I'm sure it's something to do with how I've setup routing but I'm not sure what exactly I need to do about it.
Also, this is a mixed MVC and WebForms site, if that makes a difference.
You can ignore robots.txt and all the aspx pages in your routing.
routes.IgnoreRoute("{*allaspx}", new {allaspx=#".*\.aspx(/.*)?"});
routes.IgnoreRoute("{*robotstxt}", new {robotstxt=#"(.*/)?robots.txt(/.*)?"});
You might want to ignore the favicon too.
routes.IgnoreRoute("{*favicon}", new {favicon=#"(.*/)?favicon.ico(/.*)?"});
You can adjust the regular expression to exclude paths.
Haacked from the source.
The ignore route given above didn't work for me but I found a similar one that did:
routes.IgnoreRoute("{*staticfile}", new { staticfile = #".*\.(css|js|gif|jpg)(/.*)?" });
This error could also happen if inside a view in your area, you use the Html.Action helper. This helper will always use the area as a prepend, unless you specifically tell it not to. E.g.,
#Html.Action("Main", "Navigation", new { area = string.Empty })
I found another solution too... While I don't think I'll use it, it's worth showing here in the answers:
The following should (in theory) ignore looking for controllers for anything with a '.' in it.
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "" }, // Parameter defaults
new { controller = #"[^\.]*" } // Parameter contraints.
);
Do you still have:
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
... in your Global.asax.cs?
MVC puts it there by default, and it's supposed to handle this.
If you do, then the problem may be how you're mixing MVC and WebForms.
I encountered this error when I request resources that did not exist.
Specifically, I was requesting a custom IE css file:
<!--[if lt IE 8]>#Styles.Render("~/Content/ie7.css")<![endif]-->
(These are condition comments, interpreted by IE)
However, the actual resource existed on ~/Content/ie/ie7.css.
So, without any modifications to the routing, the error was solved by using the correct url of the resource.
I define a lot of explicit routes. One of them is:
routes.MapRoute("default", "",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" });
At the end, I define a catchall route:
routes.MapRoute("PageNotFound", "{*url}",
new { controller = "Error", action = "Http404" });
If I go to the homepage http://localhost, then the http404 page is shown. And strangely, if I remove the catchall route, then the welcome page appears correctly.
Note also that I have a menu where I call Url.RouteUrl("default") and the link to the homepage is correctly generated.
So, why is my default route not activated when the catchall route exists?
Update: I'm using routes.RouteExistingFiles=true. If I remove it, then it works as expected. But I need it to be set to true. What's the problem here?
Thanks.
If you use "routes.RouteExistingFiles=true" it means it will route existing (physically exist) files as its own - so routing will be skipped for those. I think in your root website there is probably a "default.aspx" or "index.htm" or something like that.
Turning on RouteExistingFiles will then allow those files to be executed normally (instead of via routing).
Now I think what happen is that your catchall routing is overriding you RouteExistingFiles - so it automatically routes the default.aspx into your 404 catchall.
If you still have the default route (I.E. {controller}/{action}/{id}) in RegisterRoutes() it will trap all URLs that match the format of a normal MVC request.
In other words the catch-all route can only intercept a bad URL if it doesn't fit the normal format (blah/blah/blah/blah).
In the case of a non-existent controller the exception must be handled through conventional ASP.NET handling.
Theres a good description of handling this here
Did you try to put a constraint on the catch all route? Constraint should tell it that the catch-all segment should not have 0 characters.
