Question

I have problem with create ulr routing for asp.net mvc3 application.

My project has this structure :

• Areas
  • EmployeeReport
    • Controllers
      • Report
    • Views
      • Report
        • List
        • ….
• Controllers
  • Login
• Viwes
  • Login
    • …

EmployeeReportAreaRegistration.cs :

public class EmployeeReportAreaRegistration : AreaRegistration
{
    public override string AreaName
    {
        get
        {
            return "EmployeeReport";
        }
    }

    public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context)
    {
        var routes = context.Routes;

        routes.MapRoute(null, "vykazy/vykazy-zamestnance", new { Area = "EmployeeReport", controller = "Report", action = "List" });

    }
}

Global.asax :

        routes.MapRoute(null, "prihlasit", new { controller = "Login", action = "Login" });

        routes.MapRoute("Default", "{controller}/{action}/{id}", new { controller = "Default", action = "Welcome", id = UrlParameter.Optional });

When i try load "http://localhost/app_name/vykazy/vykazy-zamestnance
i get this exception :

The view 'List' or its master was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations. The following locations were searched:
~/Views/Report/List.aspx
~/Views/Report/List.ascx
~/Views/Shared/List.aspx
~/Views/Shared/List.ascx
~/Views/Report/List.cshtml
~/Views/Report/List.vbhtml
~/Views/Shared/List.cshtml
~/Views/Shared/List.vbhtml

Well, where I do mistake ?

Thanks

revised answer:

Adding to Context.Routes directly means it loses any information about Areas.

Either use AreaRegistration.MapRoute (which is overriden to put in the Area information).

context.MapRoute(...);

Or put the area in the DataTokens parameter (not the defaults parameter as you have done here)

context.Routes.MapRoute("", "url", new {...}, null, new {area = this.AreaName});
