Question

I have two MapRoute in global asax.`

            routes.MapRoute(
           "AutoGeneratedURLHandler", // Route name
           "{modulepath}/{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
           new { id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
       );      



        //default route
        routes.MapRoute(
           "Default", // Route name
           "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
           new { controller = "Account", action = "Logon", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
       );`

And I have two link on masterpage.

  <li><%:Html.ActionLink("Card Types", "Index", "CardType", new { modulepath="CardManagement" },null)%></li>
                 <li><%:Html.ActionLink("Home Page", "Index", "Home")%></li>

After I click Card Types link, Home Page link becomes “/CardManagement/Home/Index” instead of “/Home/Index”.

Route values remember “modulepath” and add it auto to home page link. But I dont want this. How can I make it not add module path to url?

Instead of ActionLink, you could use a RouteLink and send it down your default route. Another option is to not use the ActionLink helper and just roll the link on your own:

<a href="home/index">Home</a>
