Question

I am trying with no success to do the following :

url:

MyString/MyController1
MyString/MyController2
MyString/MyController3
MyString/

For the first three I am using :

routes.MapRoute(
                "MyString/MyController1", // Route name
                "MyString/MyController1/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
                new {controller = "MyController1", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional},
                new string[] {"Core_Web.Controllers.MyString"}
                );

and it works perfectly well. My problem arrives when I try to access MyString/.
I have added :

routes.MapRoute(
                "Default",
                "MyString",
                new { controller = "MyString", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
                new string[] {"Core_Web.Controllers"}
                );

But the call of the url MyString gives :

The resource cannot be found

Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

Requested URL: /MyString

There is a Controller named MyString in Core_Web.Controllers.

thanks for your help,

[EDIT]

here is my whole code :

the routes:

routes.MapRoute(
    "Contabilita",
    "Contabilita",
    new { controller = "Contabilita", action = "Index" },
    new string[] { "Core_Web.Controllers" }
    );

routes.MapRoute(
    "Contabilita_Controller", // Route name
    "Contabilita/{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
    new { action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional},
    new string[] { "Core_Web.Controllers.Contabilita" }
    );

and the controllers:

namespace Core_Web.Controllers
{
    public class ControllerContabilitaBase : ControllerBaseSuper
    {
       ....
    }
    public class ControllerContabilita : ControllerContabilitaBase
    {
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            return View(GetView("Index"));
        }
    }
}

namespace Core_Web.Controllers.Contabilita
{
    public class ImpiantoController : ControllerContabilitaBase
    {
     ...
    }
    public class LottoController : ControllerContabilitaBase
    {
    ...
    }
}

but it does not work either. The url with the controller in it works but not the other one. It gives 404.

am I possibly overlooking something else?

Answer 1

Try the following route definitions (in that order):

routes.MapRoute(
    "MyString",
    "MyString",
    new { controller = "MyString", action = "Index" },
    new string[] { "Core_Web.Controllers" }
);

routes.MapRoute(
    "MyString_Controller",
    "MyString/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
    new { action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
    new string[] { "Core_Web.Controllers" }
);

Which should give you the following pattern:

url                  controller             action
--------------------------------------------------
/mystring            MyStringController     Index
/mystring/my1        My1Controller          Index
/mystring/my1/foo    My1Controller          Foo
/mystring/my2        My2Controller          Index
/mystring/my3        My3Controller          Index
