ASP MVC Route Config - The resource cannot be found error

Van Hua asked:

Open original thread
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" }
            );
        }
