Question

I’d like to have a route setup like the following

routes.MapRoute(
    "Static content handler",
    "content/{name}.{type}",
    new { controller = "StaticHandler", action = "StaticContent" });

But I’d like to also route scripts/{name}.{type} to the same controller and action and I’d rather not add another routing method if I can get away with it.

Can I set it up with something like (content|scripts)/{name}.{type}?

Answer 1

You probably want to use a RoutingConstraint

routes.MapRoute(
    "Static content Handler2",
    "{folder}/{area}.{type}",
    new { controller = "StaticHandler", action = "StaticContent" },
    new { folder = "scripts|content" } );

That last new {} will use the regex to tell the router that only use this route if folder is “scripts” or “content”
