I'm newbie in asp mvc, currently, my demo project structure like this:

C#

Areas -- Comment -- Controller -- HomeController
                               -- ManageController

C#

Controller -- HomeController
          |-- CommentController
                     |____ PostMsg
                     |____ DeleteMsg
Views -- Home
     |     |--- Index.cshtml
     |-- Comment
           |--- PostMsg.cshtml
           |--- DeleteMsg.cshtml

When I browsing url like :

C#

http://localhost/Comment/Manage/ --> return view successfully
http://localhost/Comment/PostMsg --> error "The resource cannot be found."

Anyone have any idea why asp mvc doesn't resolve my controller :-(
here is my global.asax.cs route config:

C#

routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
    
                routes.MapRoute(
                    name: "Default",
                    url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                    defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
                    namespaces: new[] { "Demo.Web.Controllers" }
                );

here is my area registration route config:

C#

public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context)
            {
                context.MapRoute(
                    "Comment_default",
                    "Comment/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                    new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
                    new[] { "Demo.Web.Areas.Comment.Controllers" }
                );
            }

Problem : Comment/PostMsg url was resolved as an Controller in Comment Area

Goal : Comment/PostMsg url was resolved as an Action of CommentController
Any help would be appreciated :-)

ISSUE RESOLVED, edit area registration route config (work around):

C#

public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context)
        {
            context.MapRoute(
                "Comment_default",
                "Comment/PostMsg",
                new { controller = "Comment", action = "PostMsg", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
                new[] { "Demo.Web.Controllers" }
            );

            context.MapRoute(
                "Comment_default",
                "Comment/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
                new[] { "Demo.Web.Areas.Comment.Controllers" }
            );
        }

Add the following Code in Global.asax file.

protected void Application_Start()
        {
            AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
            FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
           GlobalConfiguration.Configure(WebApiConfig.Register);
            RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);

Did you not notice that this was resolved over 5 years ago? The green banner on the heading of a solution indicates that the OP has accepted the solution.

Solution 4

Go to the properties page of the Web project and select the Web tab. In the Start Action section, set it to Specific Page, but leave the textbox empty.

Hmm.. It look like you don't get my problem :-( The main problem here is the name conflict between CommentController with CommentAreas.
In your demo, you add specific url which have different name with your controller and don't create any conflict areas name.

Solution 1

ok
you can add directly two maprout in globalasx.cs
for example you can do this:

C#

routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
    
                routes.MapRoute(
                    name: "Default",
                    url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                    defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
                    namespaces: new[] { "Demo.Web.Controllers" }
                );


routes.MapRoute(
                    "Comment_default",
                    "Comment/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                    new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
                    new[] { "Demo.Web.Areas.Comment.Controllers" }
                );

AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas(); already did that for me
