ASP.NET MVC - Views location Problem : The view 'Index' or its master was not found
- by user326873
Hi all,
I've create an asp.net MVC 2 project, it works fine!!
I've been asked to integrate the project in an existing web project in classic asp.net
(I've add the folder containing the source, and not make a new project, because they have to bee in same project)
I've configured my web.config file
<pages pageBaseType="System.Web.UI.Page" >
<controls>
<add tagPrefix="asp"
namespace="System.Web.UI"
assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add tagPrefix="asp"
namespace="System.Web.UI.WebControls"
assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
</controls>
<namespaces>
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html" />
<add namespace="System.Web.Routing" />
<add namespace="System.Linq" />
<add namespace="System.Collections.Generic" />
<add namespace="SearchApp.Helpers.CheckBoxList"/>
<add namespace="SearchApp.Helpers.Pager"/>
</namespaces>
</pages>
<httpModules>
<add name="ScriptModule" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptModule, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add name="UrlRoutingModule" type="System.Web.Routing.UrlRoutingModule, System.Web.Routing, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
</httpModules>
<!--- END MVC config section-->
and my global.asax file (I'm working under IIS 5.1) :
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
"SearchApp", // Route name
"SearchApp/{controller}.aspx/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Search", action = "Index", id = "" } // Parameter defaults
);
}
protected void Application_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
}
The hierarchy of the project is (I can’t find how to insert Image in the post):
+Project
++MVC2AppFolder
+++Controller
++++SearchController.cs
+++Views
++++Search
+++++Index.aspx
++global.asax
++web.config
as you can see the global.asax is not in the MVC App folder
when I try to access the page Search/index.aspx using this url http://localhost/cstfwsrv/SearchApp/Search.aspx/Index[^] have the following error :

As you can see he search for the Index.aspx page under ~/Views/Search/Index.aspx , wich is under ~/MVC2AppFolder/Views/Search/Index.aspx
Is there a way to set in the Route Method, or any where else, the View Path?
Thanks’ in advance
