Hello everyone I am working with VS13 MVC4 in localhost, for url routing I want VS will work for all url's automatically as www.sitename.com/about-us but now it is getting underscore (_) not dash (-) how to make a change and get hyphen(-) before every new word in url
Here is the answer I also add it to my question for everyone can see:
public class HyphenatedRouteHandler : MvcRouteHandler
{
protected override IHttpHandler GetHttpHandler(RequestContext requestContext)
{
requestContext.RouteData.Values["controller"] = requestContext.RouteData.Values["controller"].ToString().Replace("-", "_");
requestContext.RouteData.Values["action"] = requestContext.RouteData.Values["action"].ToString().Replace("-", "_");
return base.GetHttpHandler(requestContext);
}
}
public class RouteConfig
{
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.Add(
new Route("{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new RouteValueDictionary(
new { controller = "Default", action = "Index", id = "" }),
new HyphenatedRouteHandler())
);
}
}
Thanks everyone.
If you want pretty url in asp.net mvc then you should go by registering new route for your controller.
from the application directory open RouteConfig.cs in the App_Start directory.
And in the RegisterRoutes method of RouteConfig class register a new route like this-
routes.MapRoute(
name: "AboutUs",
url: "sitename/about-us",
defaults: new { controller = "About_Us", action = "Index" }
);
The _ will prob be automatically converted to a - in the routing. The other way is to set up the routing yourself

I'm working on building a MVC4 web app and want to set specific URL I would like to use in the start point of my web application.
So I changed some values in RouteConfig.cs like this below.
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{action}.mon/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "login", action = "index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
you may notify this, but I put a suffix after action name, so that I could invoke a controller, displaying the URL like " index.mon "
if I manually put "index.mon" after host address in URL bar, then it works just okay.
But when the app gets started automatically, it throws 403.14 error. ( "automatically start" means here that I ran this app by putting F5 key to run a temporary IIS server. )
the login controller looks like this
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.Entity;
using System.Data.OleDb;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
namespace Monarch815MVC.Controllers
{
public class loginController : Controller
{
//
// GET: /login/
public ActionResult index()
{
return View();
}
public ActionResult loginProcess(string id = "000000", string pass = "example", string scode = "co")
{
Dictionary<string, object> sessionData = null;
String SqlCommand = "USP_LOGIN";
DataSet UserInfo = dataController.ExecuteDataset(dataController.CONN_STRING, CommandType.StoredProcedure, SqlCommand, arParms);
if (UserInfo.Tables[0].Rows.Count > 0)
{
sessionData = new Dictionary<string, object>();
for (int i = 0; UserInfo.Tables[0].Rows[0].Table.Columns.Count > i; i++)
{
sessionData.Add(UserInfo.Tables[0].Rows[0].Table.Columns[i].Caption, UserInfo.Tables[0].Rows[0].ItemArray[i]);
}
}
return View();
}
}
}
( let's forget about the loginProcess, I took off a few codes. )
Do I have to do something on returning phase in index() or on Web.config? or, RouteConfig.cs?
I have to use the suffix ".mon" to invoke controllers with it.
I could think of solving this issue by only using a hack. You might want to create a dummy action which will be the default action and upon being hit will redirect the request to your index.mon
i tried following, Please check if this helps you. Thanks.
In the route config
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
name: "DefaultY",
url: "{action}-mon/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "DefaultX2",
url: "{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Startup", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
}
In controller
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
public ActionResult Startup()
{
return RedirectToRoute("DefaultY", new {controller = "Home", action = "Index" });
}
}
For me i used index-mon. index.mon was not working (something which i'l explore later, perhaps it relates to static files), but above code demonstrates the approach.
Hope that helps.
I'm having trouble getting ASP.net MVC to serve up the default controllers index view for the root site url http://mysite:8080/. All I get back is a 404 with The resource cannot be found. It works fine if I specify the full route path in the url : http://mysite:8080/Default/Index, however, I want the default route to apply even if the user doesn't specify the route path though. It seems that this should just work out of the gate. This is a fresh project from the VS2013 MVC 4 template.
I've tried both route mappings below and neither seems to work. How can this be achieved?
routes.MapRoute(
"Root",
"",
new { controller = "DefaultController", action = "Index" }
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "DefaultController", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
Here is a solution to this problem. It's disappointing that the default route's defaults do not apply for the root site url though.
routes.Add(new Route("", new SiteRootRouteHandler("~/Default/Index")));
public class SiteRootRouteHandler : IRouteHandler
{
private readonly string _redirectUrl;
public SiteRootRouteHandler(string redirectUrl)
{
_redirectUrl = redirectUrl;
}
public IHttpHandler GetHttpHandler(RequestContext requestContext)
{
return new SiteRootHandler(_redirectUrl);
}
}
public class SiteRootHandler: IHttpHandler
{
private readonly string _redirectUrl;
public SiteRootHandler(string redirectUrl)
{
_redirectUrl = redirectUrl;
}
public bool IsReusable
{
get { return true; }
}
public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
context.Response.RedirectPermanent(_redirectUrl);
}
}
I am new in web api and I am creating a demo with default Web API, I see that ValuesController has default 4 functions Get,Post,Put and Delete. I see that the ValuesController impleament 4 function to ApiController which can not modify. So, Can I write some more functions like search item by price or model ? If can, what url on browser to run debug for new function ?
thankyou
It sounds like you need to add new actions to your controller. You will need to modify (or add to) your Routes in your WebApiConfig.cs file to include action mapping.
For example, let's say you update your Controller with the additional functions GetTestString1 and GetTestString2:
public class TestController : ApiController
{
public String GetTestString1(int id)
{
return "Test String 1 for " + id;
}
public String GetTestString2(int id)
{
return "Test String 2 for " + id;
}
}
To perform the routing to these new functions you need to add the following to the WebApiConfig.cs file in the App_Start folder:
public static class WebApiConfig
{
public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
{
// This mapping entry may already exist for you. Leave it alone
// so your existing default functions continue to work properly.
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "DefaultApi",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
);
// Add this to route your new functions:
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "TestStringApi",
routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
);
}
}
The above routeTemplate "api/{controller}/{action}/{id}" is how the request URL will be routed to your controller and actions (functions). The {controller} part of the URL will route to your TestController class. The {action} part of the URL is the additional function you asked about and will be mapped to GetTestString1 or GetTestString2 depending on what you request in your URL.
When you open your browser to this address,
http://localhost:60303/api/Test/GetTestString1/100
the route you registered in the WebApiConfig.cs will map the url to your Testcontroller's GetTestString1 action (function) with 100 as the input parameter and will return "Test String 1 for 100" to the browser.
You can call your Testcontroller's GetTestString2 action (function) like this
http://localhost:60303/api/Test/GetTestString2/101
and "Test String 2 for 101" will be returned to the browser.
You can learn more about the how the default functions work (get, post delete) and more about actions and parameters here:

I want to go to http://myserver and be able to get Help Pages as the default home page, so the first thing a guest to http://myserver should see is the Help Page.
I have a default route set up like this:
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
}
Then I have my Help Page Area registration set up like this:
public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context)
{
context.MapRoute(
"HelpPage_Default",
"doc/{action}/{apiId}",
new { controller = "Help", action = "Index", apiId = UrlParameter.Optional });
HelpPageConfig.Register(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration);
}
When I change RouteConfig's controller to "Help" I get:
The view 'Index' or its master was not found or no view engine
supports the searched locations
When I change Help Page route to "{controller}/{action}/{apiId}" my AttributeRoutes stop working.
Is there some easy way to make ASP.NET Help Pages default home page?
I accomplished this with the following RouteConfig. I am also using ASP.Net Help Pages to auto-generate my documentation from the inline XML comments:
public class RouteConfig
{
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
// By default route the user to the Help area if accessing the base URI.
routes.MapRoute(
"Help Area",
"",
new { controller = "Help", action = "Index" }
).DataTokens = new RouteValueDictionary(new { area = "HelpPage" });
}
}
I should also mention that I don't have any other routing in this class since I am using Attribute Routing on API methods individually.
For those who search where to add the route, with the current version of the WebApi and of the NuGet package you have to search for the file named "HelpPageAreaRegistration" in the Area folder added by NuGet.
Here is mine once it was coded to have the help page with WebApi has default web page.
public class HelpPageAreaRegistration : AreaRegistration
{
public override string AreaName
{
get
{
return "HelpPage";
}
}
public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context)
{
context.MapRoute(
"HelpPage_Default",
"Help/{action}/{apiId}",
new { controller = "Help", action = "Index", apiId = UrlParameter.Optional });
context.MapRoute(
"Help Area",
"",
new { controller = "Help", action = "Index" }
);
HelpPageConfig.Register(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration);
}
}
I'm building a site for a client using .Net MVC 4. The entire site uses the default MVC 4 route and all the pages work fine
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
)
There is a page on the site called 'Teachers'. For this page, there are several links that take you to new pages that are subsets of the 'Teachers' page. The client wants the url structure to appear like this
www.{mysite}.com/School/Teachers/Apply
www.{mysite}.com/School/Teachers/Benefits
I thought I could simple add the Apply and Benefits pages as an ActionResult in my SchoolController then use the routing feature in MVC to map the url to the correct ActionResult method in the SchoolController.
This is my controller:
public class SchoolController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
public ActionResult Administration()
{
return View();
}
public ActionResult Teachers()
{
return View();
}
public ActionResult Apply()
{
return View();
}
public ActionResult Benefits()
{
return View();
}
}
This is the custom route that I tried.
routes.MapRoute(
"Teachers",
"{controller}/{page}/{action}",
new { controller = "School", page = "Teachers", action = "Index" }
)
I placed this route before the default route but this adds 'teachers' to every url on the site like this:
www.{mysite}.com/{controller}/teachers/{action}
SUMMARY
All the pages on my site use this url structure:
www.{mysite}.com/{controller}/{action}
This one page, however, has the following structure:
www.{mysite}.com/{controller}/teachers/{action}
How can I do this with routes?
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
name: "TeachersActions",
url: "School/Teachers/{action}",
defaults: new { controller = "School" },
constraints: new { action = "Apply|Benefits" } // actions under Teachers
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index",
id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
}
Any actions you want to be under Teachers should be added to the route. It is actually not necessary to specify defaults for action or page for this route to work (unless you do have some need for a page route value to be captured). The catch here is that a user can still target the actions under Teachers by entering the URL School/{action} because it is caught by the default route. Now this may or may not be a concern for you. Personally I would not consider it such a big issue since the users should just be using the site's navigation instead of entering the URLs manually.
