Question

I have an MVC project that needed to have the URL structure changed. I’ve modified the Global.asax.cs file so that all the URL’s are now reflecting what the account team wanted. Long story short, there is a requirement to have a tailing ‘/’ on all of the URL’s (i.e. http://www.google.com/whatever/ ).

I think the best way to do this is to override the Html.ActionLink() function so all the URL’s are generated the desired way but I’m not sure where/how to do this.

Thnx for any help

Check this other StackOverflow question:

Why is ASP.NET MVC ignoring my trailing slash?

Quoting the approved answer:

Legenden – there is no immediate
solution to the problem. You may have
run across Jason Young’s blog
post about the issue, which is
very informative. Scott Hanselmann
posted a reply to it here,
basically stating that he didn’t think
it was a big deal, and if it is, you
can leverage the new IIS7 rewrite
module to solve it.

Ultimately though, you might want to
look at a solution that was posted by
murad on a similar question on
StackOverflow:
Trailing slash on an ASP.NET MVC route

.
