How create new route with interface IEndpointRouteBuilder? - asp.net-core

We have upgraded project to asp.net core 3.0 and would like to use Endpoint routing.
I have following old method:
public static IRouteBuilder MapLocalizedRoute(this IRouteBuilder routeBuilder,
string name, string template, object defaults, object constraints, object dataTokens)
{
if (routeBuilder.DefaultHandler == null)
{
throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(routeBuilder));
}
//get registered InlineConstraintResolver
var inlineConstraintResolver = routeBuilder.ServiceProvider.GetRequiredService<IInlineConstraintResolver>();
//create new generic route
routeBuilder.Routes.Add(new LocalizedRoute(routeBuilder.DefaultHandler, name, template,
new RouteValueDictionary(defaults), new RouteValueDictionary(constraints),
new RouteValueDictionary(dataTokens), inlineConstraintResolver));
return routeBuilder;
}
I need change to type this IEndpointRouteBuilder routeBuilder.
But how me implement adding of new generic router? Interface IEndpointRouteBuilder dosent have property Routes and I can't use routeBuilder.Routes.Add...

Netcore 2.2 Localized Routing - Route values for default culture always ignored

Successfully using the project laid out at Localized routing using ASP.NET Core MVC 2. The project is developed to display the Default language using just the controller/Action and Localized Routes for the alternate languages.
My Controller
[LocalizationRoute("en", "Portal/Dashboard")]
[LocalizationRoute("fr", "Portail/tableau-de-bord")]
[LocalizationRoute("es", "Portal/Tablero")]
public class DashboardController : PortalBaseController
{
private const string Title = "Dashboard";
[LocalizationRoute("en", "Dashboardv1")]
[LocalizationRoute("fr", "tableau-de-bordv1")]
[LocalizationRoute("es", "Tablerov1")]
public IActionResult Dashboardver1()
In my SignIn controller I wish to create a localised RedirectUrl...the below code provides a fully localized route for the the french and spanish but the default route is always just controller/action. If I manually type in the english, fully localized route, the page loads but the code below always returns just a regular path.
var culture = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name;
var redirectUrl = LocalizationRouteDataHandler.GetUrl("Dashboard", "Dashboardver1", culture).Url;
//should be "en/portal/Dashboard/Dashboardv1"
//currently resolves to "Dashboard/Dashboardver1"
Suggestions as ?
I find that In LocalizationRouteDataHandler.AddControllerRouteData ,code ControllerRoutes[controllerKey].Names.TryAdd(culture, route); adds culture="en" and route="Dashboard" first to the Dictionary of Controller Name and then when it tries to add the condition culture="en" and route="en/Portal/Dashboard",it fails since the "en" key has added.
A workaround is that you could remove the unnecessary key and add the new key.
LocalizationRouteDataHandler.cs
public static void AddControllerRouteData(string controller, string culture, string route)
{
if (controller == "Dashboard")
{
Console.WriteLine("test");
}
string controllerKey = controller.ToLower();
// If the controller doesn't exist, create it!
if (!ControllerRoutes.ContainsKey(controllerKey))
{
ControllerRoutes.TryAdd(controllerKey, new CultureControllerRouteData());
}
// key removed
if (culture=="en" && ControllerRoutes[controllerKey].Names.Remove("en"))
{
ControllerRoutes[controllerKey].Names.TryAdd(culture, route);
}
// dictionary doesn't contain the key
else
{
ControllerRoutes[controllerKey].Names.TryAdd(culture, route);
}
}
When I test with
var redirectUrl = LocalizationRouteDataHandler.GetUrl("Dashboard", "Dashboardver1", "en").Url;
It returns /en/Portal/Dashboard/Dashboardver1

How to dynamically resolve controller with endpoint routing?

Upgrading to asp.net core 2.2 in my hobby project there is a new routing system I want to migrate to. Previously I implemented a custom IRouter to be able to set the controller for the request dynamically. The incoming request path can be anything. I match the request against a database table containing slugs and it looks up the a matching data container class type for the resolved slug. After that I resolve a controller type that can handle the request and set the RouteData values to the current HttpContext and passing it along to the default implementation for IRouter and everything works ok.
Custom implementaion of IRouter:
public async Task RouteAsync(RouteContext context)
{
var requestPath = context.HttpContext.Request.Path.Value;
var page = _pIndex.GetPage(requestPath);
if (page != null)
{
var controllerType = _controllerResolver.GetController(page.PageType);
if (controllerType != null)
{
var oldRouteData = context.RouteData;
var newRouteData = new RouteData(oldRouteData);
newRouteData.Values["pageType"] = page.PageType;
newRouteData.Values["controller"] = controllerType.Name.Replace("Controller", "");
newRouteData.Values["action"] = "Index";
context.RouteData = newRouteData;
await _defaultRouter.RouteAsync(context);
}
}
}
A controller to handle a specific page type.
public class SomePageController : PageController<PageData>
{
public ActionResult Index(PageData currentPage)
{
return View("Index", currentPage);
}
}
However I got stuck when I'm trying to figure out how I can solve it using the new system. I'm not sure where I'm suppose to extend it for this behavior. I don't want to turn off the endpoint routing feature because I see an opportunity to learn something. I would aso appreciate a code sample if possible.
In ASP.NET 3.0 there is an new dynamic controller routing system. You can implement DynamicRouteValueTransformer.
Documentation is on the way, look at the github issue

How to get #Url.Action value inside a controller

I am using ASP.net core
I can use an Html action inside a view
#Url.Action("GetOptions", "ControllerName", new { id="1"});
However I want to get a string value of it in the Controller.
e.g. something like
string Url= Url.Action("GetOptions", "ControllerName", new { id="1"}).ToString();
In previous versions of MVC you can reference the helper in the controller by
UrlHelper urlHelper = new UrlHelper(HttpContext.Current.Request.RequestContext);
Basically what I want to do is generate a URL string representation in my controller
In order for the route values to work correctly for me I had to use the static invocation of the url helpers
UrlHelperExtensions.Action(Url, "Details", "Resellers", new { id = 1 })
Edit: The shorthand way of writing this is:
this.Url.Action("Details", "Resellers", new { id = 1 })
Thanks #Learner.

How to implement custom SiteMapNodeProvider

I am trying to adapt the MvcSiteMapProvider to create the breadcrumb based on some Information stored in a database.
The answer in this post sounded promising so i implemented my own SiteMapNodeProvider. But then i didnt know how to wire things up so the newly implemented SiteMapNodeProvider is used instead of the static xml file ("Mvc.sitemap").
As i am using SimpleInjector in my project, i called the setup method in my already existent Injection-initialization code.
public static void Initialize()
{
Injection.Global = new Container();
InitializeContainer(Injection.Global);
Injection.Global.RegisterMvcControllers(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
Injection.Global.RegisterMvcAttributeFilterProvider();
Injection.Global.Verify();
DependencyResolver.SetResolver(new SimpleInjectorDependencyResolver(Injection.Global));
}
private static void InitializeContainer(Container container)
{
// Setup configuration of DI
MvcSiteMapProviderContainerInitializer.SetUp(container);
//... register some other stuff for my project here ...
}
The MvcSiteMapProviderContainerInitializer class got created by the package: 'Mvcsitemapprovider.mvc4.di.simpleinjector/4.4.5'
Does anybody know what to do to make my project use the newly created SiteMapNodeProvider?
I couldnt find any documentation about this in the official docu...
edit: i tried what you suggested (even removed the old DI stuff and only used the one from the nuget-package) but still i am getting errors...
here is what i have in my MvcSiteMapProviderContainerInitializer

but still i get the following exception:
No registration for type DynamicSiteMapNodeBuilder could be found and
an implicit registration could not be made. The constructor of the

registered. Please ensure ISiteMapNodeCreator is registered in the
container, or change the constructor of DynamicSiteMapNodeBuilder.
First of all, to integrate with an existing DI setup, you should install MvcSiteMapProvider.MVC4.DI.SimpleInjector.Modules instead of MvcSiteMapProvider.MVC4.DI.SimpleInjector. You can downgrade by running this command from package manager console:
PM> Uninstall-Package -Id MvcSiteMapProvider.MVC4.DI.SimpleInjector
Be sure NOT to uninstall any dependencies. This will ensure that you don't have 2 sets of DI initialization code in your project - there should only be 1 for the entire application.
Next, you need to wire up for DI as well as some other initialization code required by MvcSiteMapProvider. The readme file contains instructions how to do this. Here is how you would do it with your existing configuration.
public static void Initialize()
{
Injection.Global = new Container();
InitializeContainer(Injection.Global);
Injection.Global.RegisterMvcControllers(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
Injection.Global.RegisterMvcAttributeFilterProvider();
Injection.Global.Verify();
DependencyResolver.SetResolver(new SimpleInjectorDependencyResolver(Injection.Global));
}
private static void InitializeContainer(Container container)
{
// Setup configuration of DI (required)
MvcSiteMapProviderContainerInitializer.SetUp(container);
// Setup global sitemap loader (required)
MvcSiteMapProvider.SiteMaps.Loader = container.GetInstance<ISiteMapLoader>();
// Check all configured .sitemap files to ensure they follow the XSD for MvcSiteMapProvider (optional)
var validator = container.GetInstance<ISiteMapXmlValidator>();
validator.ValidateXml(HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~/Mvc.sitemap"));
// Register the Sitemaps routes for search engines (optional)
XmlSiteMapController.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes); // NOTE: You can put this in your RouteConfig.cs file if desired.
//... register some other stuff for your project here ...
}
If the /sitemap.xml endpoint doesn't work, you may also need to add this line to register the XmlSiteMapController:
Injection.Global.RegisterMvcControllers(typeof(MvcSiteMapProvider.SiteMaps).Assembly);
To implement ISiteMapNodeProvider, there is an example here: MvcSiteMapProvider ISiteMapBuilder in conjunction with IDynamicNodeProvider.
To register your custom ISiteMapNodeProvider, you just need to ensure it gets added to the constructor of SiteMapBuilder. You can also exclude the existing SiteMapNodeProviders from the code below depending on your needs.
// Register the sitemap node providers
container.RegisterSingle<XmlSiteMapNodeProvider>(() => container.GetInstance<XmlSiteMapNodeProviderFactory>()
.Create(container.GetInstance<IXmlSource>()));
container.RegisterSingle<ReflectionSiteMapNodeProvider>(() => container.GetInstance<ReflectionSiteMapNodeProviderFactory>()
.Create(includeAssembliesForScan));
// Register your custom sitemap node provider
container.RegisterSingle<ISiteMapNodeProvider, CustomSiteMapNodeProvider>();
// Register the collection of sitemap node providers (including the custom one)
container.RegisterSingle<ISiteMapBuilder>(() => container.GetInstance<SiteMapBuilderFactory>()
.Create(new CompositeSiteMapNodeProvider(
container.GetInstance<XmlSiteMapNodeProvider>(),
container.GetInstance<ReflectionSiteMapNodeProvider>(),
container.GetInstance<CustomSiteMapNodeProvider>())));
Do note that IDynamicNodeProvider (which is documented) does almost exactly the same thing as ISiteMapNodeProvider, so you could use that option instead. There are 3 main differences:
With IDynamicNodeProvider, you must create a "template" node that defines the dynamicNodeProvider attribute, and the template node itself won't be included in the SiteMap, so it must be used in conjunction with a ISiteMapNodeProvider implementation that processes the dynamic nodes (the built-in ISiteMapNodeProviders do this automatically).
IDynamicNodeProvider doesn't need to be part of the DI setup because it is already processed by both XmlSiteMapNodeProvider and ReflectionSiteMapNodeProvider.
With ISiteMapNodeProvider, you are working directly with the ISiteMapNode object, with IDynamicNodeProvider you are working with an abstraction (DynamicNodeProvider) and there is a conversion that happens automatically.
About SimpleInjector.Verify
If you want Verify() to work, you need to add the following to the excludeTypes array in the MvcSiteMapProviderContainerInitializer.
typeof(SiteMapNodeCreator),
typeof(DynamicSiteMapNodeBuilder)
I have added them to the module and will be in the next version of the Nuget package, but these modules do not update so you have to do it manually.
Note that the Verify() method tries to create an instance of everything that is registered with the container - including objects that never get created by the container in the real world. Therefore, if you use the Verify() method you have to be more diligent that something is not accidentally registered. This makes convention-based registration more difficult to do.

LockRecursionException calling Route.GetVirtualPath from another route's GetVirtualData in .Net 4

I have a route defined last in my ASP.Net MVC 2 app that will map old urls that are no longer used to the appropriate new urls to be redirected to. This route returns the action and controller that is responsible for actually performing the redirect and it also returns a url to the controller action which is the url to redirect to. Since the route is responsible for generating the new url to redirect to, it is calling the router to get the appropriate urls. This has worked just fine with .Net 3.5, but when I upgraded to .Net 4, the GetVirtualPath method throws a System.Threading.LockRecursionException: "Recursive read lock acquisitions not allowed in this mode.". The following code resolves the problem but is pretty ugly:
public static string GetActionUrl(HttpContextBase context, string routeName, object routeValues)
{
RequestContext requestContext = new RequestContext(context, new RouteData());
VirtualPathData vp = null;
try
{
vp = _Routes.GetVirtualPath(requestContext, routeName, new RouteValueDictionary(routeValues));
}
catch (System.Threading.LockRecursionException)
{
var tmpRoutes = new RouteCollection();
Router.RegisterRoutes(tmpRoutes);
vp = tmpRoutes.GetVirtualPath(requestContext, routeName, new RouteValueDictionary(routeValues));
}
if (vp == null)
throw new Exception(String.Format("Could not find named route {0}", routeName));
return vp.VirtualPath;
}
Does anybody know what changes in .Net 4 might have caused this error? Also, is calling a route from another route's GetRouteData method just bad practice and something I should not be doing at all?
As you figured out, it is not supported to call a route in the global route table from within another route in the global route table.
The global route table is a thread-safe collection to enable multiple readers or a single router. Unfortunately the code you have was never supported, even in .NET 3.5, though in some scenarios it may have coincidentally worked.
As a general note, routes should function independent of one another, so I'm not sure what your scenario is here.
v3.5 RouteCollection uses the following code:
private ReaderWriterLockSlim _rwLock;
public IDisposable GetReadLock()
{
this._rwLock.EnterReadLock();
return new ReadLockDisposable(this._rwLock);
}
v4.0 RouteCollection uses the following code:
private ReaderWriterLock _rwLock;
public IDisposable GetReadLock()
{
this._rwLock.AcquireReaderLock(-1);
return new ReadLockDisposable(this._rwLock);
}
GetRouteData(HttpContextBase httpContext) in both versions use the following code:
public RouteData GetRouteData(HttpContextBase httpContext)
{
...
using (this.GetReadLock())
{
GetVirtualPath uses the same logic.
The ReaderWriterLock used in v4.0 does not allow Recursive read locks by default which is why the error is occurring.
Copy routes to a new RouteCollection for second query, or change the ReaderWriterLock mode by reflecting in.
