Question

i am using asp.net mvc3 and have two different type of request in same controller and i am facing error in accesing the correct method

Firstcondition

  routes.MapRoute(
        "Tag1", // Route name
        "Tag/{no}", // URL with parameters
        new { controller = "Tag", action = "TagCloud", no = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
    );

In this case user will access Tag Controller like this http://xyz.com/tag OR http://xyz.com/tag/3 where number is actually page number

Secondcondition

 routes.MapRoute(
           "Tag", // Route name
           "Tag/{tag}/{page}", // URL with parameters
           new { controller = "Tag", action = "Index", tag = "tag", page = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
       );

In this case user must give a name of tag in order to get detail page of that tag like this http://xyz.com/tag/mvc where mvc is the name of tag OR http://xyz.com/tag/mvc/3 where mvc is tag name and 3 is page no which is optional ,

now problem is that both are not working at same time , anyone which is on the top runs , and mvc skip the lower one . Please help and thanks in advance .

Try this:

routes.MapRoute(
   "Tag", // Route name
   "Tag/{tag}/{page}", // URL with parameters
   new { controller = "Tag", action = "Index", tag = "tag", page = UrlParameter.Optional },
   new { page = @"\d+" }
);

routes.MapRoute(
   "Tag1", // Route name
   "Tag/{no}", // URL with parameters
   new { controller = "Tag", action = "TagCloud", no = UrlParameter.Optional },
   new { no = @"\d+" }
);
