Problem with route in VS2011 Beta

Can anyone see where i'm going wrong here, as i'm not sure what i need to add to the form. My form displays

<form action="/Home" id="frmSearch" method="get"> it should point to /Search/Index

I'm using VS2011 Beta

Thanks

George

I'm using Html.BeginRouteForm and the route is named SearchResults

routes.MapRoute(
                name: "SearchResults",
                url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                defaults: new { controller = "Search", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
            );

@using(Html.BeginRouteForm("SearchResults",FormMethod.Get, new {@id = "frmSearch"}))
                                {
                                Html.RenderPartial("~/Views/Home/_pvDisplaySearch.cshtml");
                                }

Re: Problem with route in VS2011 Beta

I think I have seen what your problem is. In your Route, you are defining an optional constructor.

routes.MapRoute(
                name: "SearchResults",
                url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                defaults: new { controller = "Search", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
            );

You need to change this to the following:

routes.MapRoute( 
                name: "SearchResults", 
                url: "Search/Index/{id}", 
                new { controller = "Home", action = "Create" }, 
                new { httpMethod = new HttpMethodConstraint("GET") }  
            );

Hi Neil

Thanks, that works but the url is not in the format i'm looking for.

This is how it displays: http://localhost:49514/Search/Index?q=test&b=Web&o=Web&p=1

What i'm looking for is http://www.mydomain.com/SearchResults/test/SearchOption/Web/Page/1

Where SearchOption: o=web

Thanks

Change the URL within the route. Currently the route is set for /Search/Index/{id}. Change this to your required URL.

Hi Neil

Tried that but form is: <form action="" id="frmSearch" method="get">

Below is what I think you mean.

routes.MapRoute(
                name: "SearchResults",
                url: "SearchResults/{q}/SearchOption/{o}/Page/{p}",
                defaults: new { controller = "Search", action = "Index", q = UrlParameter.Optional, o = UrlParameter.Optional, p = UrlParameter.Optional }
            );

George,

If it works, that's exactly what I meant

Re: Problem with route in VS2011 Beta

Hi Neil

Me thinks they have changed something in the routes, just added this route to MVC3 project in VS2010

routes.MapRoute(
                "SearchResults",
                "SearchResultsFor/{q}/Option/{o}",
                 new { controller = "Search", Action = "Index", q = UrlParameter.Optional }
                );

That works as expected, but in VS2011 just does not work

What's your mean by

LearningASP_C_Sharp
That works as expected, but in VS2011 just does not work

Did this route occurs any error? Or it won't displayed the url as the same with vs2010?

Hi Young Yang

I get no errors, but route just does not display correctly anymore in VS2011, even when i use old route from VS2010

display correctly anymore

What's your meaning by this? If you want to go to a view in VS2010, you will get the url, then copy this url into VS2011, it will not display? Then if you want to redirect to this view in VS2011, which url you should enter?

Re: Problem with route in VS2011 Beta

Hi Young Yang

If I open and run old project in VS2010 url is how i expect it, but in VS2011 project url is not displaying how i expect it. Even if i use old route from VS2010 in VS2011 project.

I need to go out now, will post further info later today.
