How to hide controller name in Url?
I use the ASP.NET MVC.
The original url is: http://www.sample.com/Users.mvc/UserDetail/9615
The "Users" is controller name, the "UserDetail" is action name, and the "9615" is UserId.
How can I hide the controller name and action name in the url.
Just like this: http://www.sample.com/9615
I have writed the following code in the Global.ascx.cs to hide the action name:
routes.MapRoute(
"UserDetail", // Route name
"Users.mvc/{UserId}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Users", action = "UserDetail", UserId = "" } // Parameter defaults
);
Using the above code I hid the action name and got this url: http://www.sample.com/Users.mvc/9615
But how can I hide the controller name and get this url: http://www.sample.com/9615
Thanks.
The idea is the same. You do just the thing you did to the action. However, your problem arises from the fact that IIS is probably not mapping www.xyz.com/1234 to ASP.NET runtime. To do so in IIS7, enable integrated mode and in IIS6, add a wildcard mapping in handler map that maps everything to ASP.NET.
To add a wildcard map, see http://haacked.com/archive/2008/11/26/asp.net-mvc-on-iis-6-walkthrough.aspx (Search for "IIS6 Extension-less URLs" in that page)
After that, simply add a route:
routes.MapRoute("UserDetails", "{UserID}/{*name}",
new { controller = "Users", action = "UserDetail" , UserID=""});
This should do the trick.
MVC recognizes the difference between "{UserID}" and "{id}" so if you are going to have a route with only "{UserID}" in the Url you need to place it first in the list other wise it never gets hit. And make sure the default includes "id" since it will continually loop over "UserDetails" unless the default references id as apposed to UserID. I found this format works for me:
routes.MapRoute("UserDetails",
"{UserID}",
new { controller = "Users", action = "UserDetail", id = "" }
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Account", action = "LogOn", id = "" } // Parameter defaults
);

I am looking to use the following urls and maps some routes accordingly
<domain>/Home/About
<domain>/Home/SiteList
<domain>/Site/<id>/ (this one is defaulted to the details view)
<domain>/Site/<id>/section1/ (this one goes to section1 route in the Site controller)
<domain>/Site/<id>/section2/ (this one goes to section2 route in the Site controller)
e.g.
<domain>/Site/london/siteinfo
The above are covered by
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
However, i also want to use the following routes
<domain>/Site/<siteid>/section1/controller/action (where controller gets data linked to the <siteid> and action is optional)
an example link would be:
<domain>/Site/london/siteinfo/manager (manager is a controller and will list managers for the site)
if have tried various routes and read various posts but could not find anything which was applicable to me.
Can anyone provide some help please?
Thanks

Add one more route below "Default":
routes.MapRoute(
"MyRouteName", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}/{section}/{subsection}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id= "", section= "", subsection = "" } // Parameter defaults
);
In my MVC application I want to create a route such that when a user requests a URL starting with a prefix some specific action is invoked.
For example, I want a route that would map processData{whatever} onto an action so that when a user requests processData, processData.asmx or processDataZOMG or whatever else with processData prefix that action is invoked.
I tried the following route
routes.MapRoute(
#"ProcessData", #"processData*", //<<<< note asterisk
new { controller = #"Api", action = #"ProcessData" } );
but it doesn't match processData and anything with that prefix - route matching falls through and the request is redirected to the main page.
How do I make a route that matches all paths with a specific prefix onto a specific controller-action pair?
Try the following: Update: This solution does not work, please refer to the solution I offer in my comment to this answer.
routes.MapRoute(
#"ProcessData", #"processData/{*appendix}", //<<<< note asterisk
new { controller = #"Api", action = #"ProcessData" } );
You could use route constraints:
routes.MapRoute(
"ProcessData", // Route name
"{token}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Api", action = "ProcessData" }, // Parameter defaults
new { token = #"^processdata.*" } // constraints
);
I have added a new route to my routing table:
routes.MapRoute(
"ModuleRoute", // Route name
"Module/{href}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Module", action = "GetHtml" }// Parameter defaults
);
I need this route to match on the following url structure:
/module/123abc.html
The problem is it also matches on this structure
/module/Launch/123abc.html
Calling link :
<%: Html.ActionLink("Launch", "Launch", new { href = item.Href })%>
How do I stop that from happening? I want he second structure to continue to be matched by the default route. I thought that because the number of parameters are different that this would not be a problem.
How can better filter my route to prevent this?
Thanks!
i agree with Max Toro, i've done some testing and that URL doesn't match Module/{href}.
This:
<%: Html.ActionLink("Launch", "Launch", new { href = item.Href })%>
is actually hitting the default route. You see this if you change the default route to the below (note the id is changed to href
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{href}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", href = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
so, this proves it is falling through the first route since it gets a proper url (no querystrings)
what it is doing (when you have the usual default route with id) is that the controller and action are matched but the id isn't. This is OK - the route still matches but leaves off the id. All additional values, such as your href are appended as querystring parameters so you end up with:
module/Launch?href=123abc.html
The way to get around it is to add another route similar to the one above that uses href instead of id
something like:
routes.MapRoute(
"Launch",
"Module/Launch/{href}",
new { controller = "Module", action = "Launch", href = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
Hello i have just started learning mvc2 and im having a problem with the default value for the parameter page(you can see the method below).
Its always 0 regardless of what i type in the URL. For example this
h.ttp://localhost:52634/Products/List/2
should show page 2 but when in debug mode the page parameter is 0, so im always getting the first page of the list in my view.
i am using the predefined standard routes in global asax when you start a new mvc2 project.
am i missing something?
//This is the ProductsController
public ViewResult List(int page = 0)
{
var products = productsRepo.Products()
//send in source, current page and page size
productList = new PagedList<Product>(products, page, 10);
return View(productList);
}
It's a routing issue, the default route specifies an id property, you're using a property called page. I'm new to MVC myself, but add this route before the default route:
routes.MapRoute("MyRoute", "{controller}/{action}/{page}",
new { controller = "Foo", action = "List", page = UrlParameter.Optional });
Remove the " = 0", and do:
public ViewResult List(int? page)
{
int val = page.GetValueOrDefault(0);
And use val everywhere instead of page. That should work. If not, it's an issue with routing.
HTH.
I know it's very late to answer. As default route for MVC is following
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
which is expecting that parameter name should be id. Now you have 2 options here either change your parameter name to id or the other option is define your own route in route.config file which is under App_Start folder.
I am barely starting out with my first project on the ASP.NET MVC project type and I am creating a Details page where instead of passing the templated (int id), I would like to pass a string instead. But when I am in debug mode, and enter this in the URL, "myString" is null. Why so? Do I have to change anything else somehwere else?
So if I go to the URL and enter this:
http://localhost:2345/Bank/EmployeeDetails/3d34xyz
public ActionResult EmployeeDetails(string myString) // myString is null
{
return View();
}
In you Global.asax.cs file, you will have the following route mapped by default:
routes.mapRoute(
"Default",
"{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional });
That means that an url like http://localhost:2345/Bank/EmployeeDetails/3d34xyz will go to the Bank controller, the EmployeeDetails action and pass the value 3d34xyz into a parameter named id. It is perfectly alright to pass a string, but in order to make it work you have two options:
1) Rename the variable to id in your action method.
public ActionResult EmployeeDetails(string id) { ... }
2) Add another route that matches whatever name you want for your string. Make sure to make it more specific than the default route, and to place it before the default route in the Global.asax.cs file.
routes.mapRoute(
"BankEmployeeDetails"
"Bank/EmployeeDetails/{myString}"
new { controller = "Bank", action = "EmployeeDetails", myString = UrlParameter.Optional });
This will pass a default value of null to myString if no value is passed in the url, but with the url you specified you will pass the value 3d34xyz.
Rename myString to id if you are using the default route table.
Assuming you haven't modified the default routes (In your Global.asax.cs):
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "" } // Parameter defaults
);
The method is expecting it to be named "id".
Change the name of myString to id.
I had the same problem, you just need to provide the id in the page where you the hyperlink for Details(in the Bank page here)
#Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", new { id=""})
This solved my problem hope it helps you.
This for MVC 5.
And when you have tryed all of them and still it comes back null then give a full restart for Visual Studio. That's what eventually helped for me.
