Question

I am not sure what is going on but even though I am invoking a different controller with action a particular FooController’s Index action is being invoked all the time. The Global.asax file has setup the FooController to be the default controller.

 public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
        {
            routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

            routes.MapRoute(
                "Default", // Route name
                "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
                new { controller = "FooController", action = "SomeAction", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
            );

        }

Answer 1

Given the following route definition:

public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
    routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

    routes.MapRoute(
        "Default",
        "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
        new { controller = "FooController", action = "SomeAction", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
    );
}

if you call http://localhost:33223/us/en/11 in the absence of a UsController you will get a 404 exception.
