Question

I am working on a ASP.NET application that uses ASP.NET MVC.
I tried naming one of my controllers “AdminController” meaning I typed “Admin” in the new controller text box and it filled out the controller part all by itself of course.
This controller never worked until I changed it’s name. If I changed the name to anything else it worked with no problems.
I looked inside my Global.asax.cs file where the routes were configured and I found no routes leading to it.
I tryed adding a route to this new controller like this:

routes.MapRoute("Admin", "calcul/SomeAction",
            new { controller = "Admin", action = "SomeAction" });

and it worked but then mysite\admin would only get routed to that specific action.

I renamed the controller to AdminSection and it works but I don’t understand why it didn’t work before.

Does anyone have any idea

It was me, there was a area named admin that I didn’t see. When I excluded it from the project the “adminController” controller started to work
