ASP.NET MVC 2 - Custom route doesn't find controller action
- by mcfroob
For some reason my application isn't routing to my controller method correctly. I have a routelink like this in my webpage -
<%= Html.RouteLink("View", "Blog", new { id=(item.BlogId), slug=(item.Slug) }) %>
In global.asax.cs I have the following routes -
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
"MoreBlogs",
"Blog/Page/{page}",
new { controller = "Blog", action = "Index" }
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Blog",
"Blog/View/{id}/{slug}",
new { controller = "Blog", action = "View"}
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Blog", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
And then I have a class BlogController that has a method -
public ActionResult View(int id, string slug)
{
... etc.
}
I put a breakpoint in the first line of the View method but it's not getting hit at all. I checked with a route debugger for the format localhost/Blog/View/1/test and it matched my custom route. All I'm getting is a 404 while running this, I can't work out why the route won't post to the view method in my controller - any ideas?
