Question

I note this intriguing bit in ASP.NET MVC:

routes.IgnoreRoute('{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}'); 

I’d like to map {*pathInfo} into a route.

Something like:

routes.MapRoute(   'area/{*pathInfo}',    '{controller}/{action}/{id}',parameters    new { controller = 'Area', action = 'Index', id = ??? }  ); 

but how do I pass in the variable ‘foo/bar/rab/oof’ from mydomain.com/area/foo/bar/rab/oof? Either passing the entire bit as a string or as a collection would be fine with me.

Thanks!

Which MVC version are you using? The route name should be the first parameter to MapRoute() as I remember in MCV Beta. Anyway, given your goal of capturing the path, I would do s/t like:

routes.MapRoute('AreaRoute', 'Area/{*values}', new {controller = 'Area', action = 'Index'}       ); 

And in the Area controller:

// 'value' argument is the string after Area/, i.e. 'foo/bar/rab/oof' in your example public string Index(string values)   {     ... }
