Question

I have a route that I am calling through a RedirectToRoute like this:

return this.RedirectToRoute('Super-SuperRoute', new { year = selectedYear }); 

I have also tried:

 return this.RedirectToRoute('Super-SuperRoute', new { controller = 'Super', action = 'SuperRoute', id = 'RouteTopic', year = selectedYear }); 

The route in the global.asax is like this:

routes.MapRoute(     'Super-SuperRoute', // Route name     'Super.mvc/SuperRoute/{year}',  // URL with parameters      new { controller = 'Super', action = 'SuperRoute', id = 'RouteTopic' }  // Parameter defaults ); 

So why do I get the error: ‘No route in the route table matches the supplied values.’?

I saw that the type of selectedYear was var. When I tried to convert to int with int.Parse I realised that selectedYear was actually null, which would explain the problems. I guess next time I’ll pay more attention to the values of the variables at a breakpoint 🙂

Answer 1

What type is selectedYear? A DateTime? If so then you might need to convert to a string.
