Question

I have the following actionresult:

public ActionResult Confirmation(string emailAddress)

When I try to access it:

http://localhost:8080/Signup/Confirmation?emailAddress=test%40test.com

I get this:

The view '[e-mail]' or its master was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations. The following locations were searched:
~/Views/Signup/[e-mail]
~/Views/Signup/[e-mail]

What gives why isn’t it looking for the correct view? If I go to “/SignUp/” it correctly shows me the index, along with the other ActionResults working correctly. Why does an address break it?

Answer 1

Have you tried registering the route in the global.asax.cs?

Something like:

routes.Add("confirmation", 
    new Route("Signup/Confirmation/{email}", 
    new RouteValueDictionary(new { controller = "Signup", action = "Confirmation", email = UrlParameter.Optional }), 
    new MvcRouteHandler())
);
