  Simple routing problem

  May 03, 2012 06:26 AM|LINK

  I have a controller called CuisineController with one action method called Search. Looks like this. Simple stuff
  
  

  public class CuisineController : Controller
      {
          public ActionResult Search()
          {
              return Content("In here");
          }
  
      }

  My routing looks like this..

  public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
          {
              routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
  
              routes.MapRoute(
                  "Cuisine",
                  "Cuisine/{name}",
                  new { controller = "Cuisine", action = "Search" }
              );
  
              routes.MapRoute(
                  "Default", 
                  "{controller}/{action}/{id}", 
                  new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } 
              );
  
          }

  My problem is this.

  /Cuisine/Search      <- This works

  However

  /Cuisine    <- 404 error

  /cuisine/   <- 404 error

  Does not work despite the fact I have a default action of 'Search'.

  Seems the first MapRoute is failing and the 2nd one is picking it up. And seeings I don't have a Cuisine/Index action I get the error.

  I'm a bit new to MVC so I must admit this has me stumped. Seems obvious how routing works but I can't work this out.

  Cheers

  change the highlighted line in your code for the second option in RegisterRoutes

  routes.MapRoute(           

  "Cuisine",      

  "Cuisine/{name}",

  new { controller = "Cuisine", action = "Search" ,name=UrlParameter.Optional }

   );
