ASP.NET MVC 2 Preview 2 Route Request Not Working
- by Kezzer
Here's the error:
The incoming request does not match any route.
Basically I upgraded from Preview 1 to Preview 2 and got rid of a load of redundant stuff in relation to areas (as described by Phil Haack). It didn't work so I created a brand new project to check out how its dealt with in Preview 2. The file Default.aspx no longer exists which contains the following:
public void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
// Change the current path so that the Routing handler can correctly interpret
// the request, then restore the original path so that the OutputCache module
// can correctly process the response (if caching is enabled).
string originalPath = Request.Path;
HttpContext.Current.RewritePath(Request.ApplicationPath, false);
IHttpHandler httpHandler = new MvcHttpHandler();
httpHandler.ProcessRequest(HttpContext.Current);
HttpContext.Current.RewritePath(originalPath, false);
}
The error I received points to the line httpHandler.ProcessRequest(HttpContext.Current); yet in newer projects none of this even exists. To test it, I quickly deleted Default.aspx but then absolutely nothing worked, I didn't even receive any errors. Here's some code extracts:
Global.asax.cs
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Web.Routing;
namespace Intranet
{
public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
routes.MapRoute(
"Default",
"{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "" }
);
}
protected void App_Start()
{
RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
}
}
}
Notice the area registration as that's what I'm using.
Routes.cs
using System.Web.Mvc;
namespace Intranet.Areas.Accounts
{
public class Routes : AreaRegistration
{
public override string AreaName
{
get { return "Accounts"; }
}
public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context)
{
context.MapRoute("Accounts_Default", "Accounts/{controller}/{action}/{id}", new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "" });
}
}
}
Check the latest docs for more info on this part. It's to register the area. The Routes.cs files are located in the root folder of each area.
Cheers
