Hi,

I was wondering what the different urlpatterns are that can be used. So far I know that a variable can only come after or before a '/'.

These are correct : 

/test/{category}
/test/{category}.html

This is however wrong and is not being routed :

/test/test{category}.html

I need a way of getting the above url to route from a page like http://localhost/test/testapples.html into an aspx page with 'category' as an item in RouteData.Values.

So far I have been using MVC as an alternative to URL Rewriting but this is something I need to complete my tests and start implementation.
All I have so far comes from Haack's demo which is on his nice blogpost here : http://haacked.com/archive/2008/03/11/using-routing-with-webforms.aspx

Thanks in advance!

Right now, they just split on the / as you said. This guy: http://www.iridescence.no/Posts/Defining-Routes-using-Regular-Expressions-in-ASPNET-MVC.aspx built a regex-based route parser that you might try; and I've heard that the ASP.Net MVC team is considering adding a regex based route parser as an alternative; might be wrong on that one, though.

Hi,

Thanks for your quick reply!
This is exactly what I was looking for!
I read about regex implementation too just now, and the same guy made a post about outbound url's when using regular expressions :
http://www.iridescence.no/Posts/Outbound-Urls-with-Regular-Expression-Routes.aspx

He thinks this is the reason that the Microsoft MVC team won't implement this yet.
I don't use outbound url's anyway, I am just looking for an alternative to url rewriting.

Regards,
Peter
 

FYI the latest version of the routing system in MVC that you can download support splitting on any character, not just a "/" character. The original route you showed should now be supported.

Thanks,
