Question

I’m creating a CMS, and want all request sent to Default.aspx except for the administrator route. Here is what I have:

protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RouteTable.Routes.Ignore("favicon.ico");

        RouteTable.Routes.MapPageRoute("Administrator",
            "Administrator",
            "~/Admin/Default.aspx");

        RouteTable.Routes.MapPageRoute("CMS",
            "{PageURL}",
            "~/Default.aspx");
    }

This is working for a request such as:

mywebsite.com
mywebsite.com/test
mywebsite.com/anothertest

However, I get a resource cannot be found for:

mywebsite.com/another/test

How can I alter my routing so that it catches multiple levels?

Answer 1

You could try making your {PageURL} into {*PageURL} (or I even think {*} will work, but am not sure) using route wildcards.

Or, you could do something like PageURL/{*TheRest}

Just remember that wildcards are very powerful and should be put at the end of your routes since routes are figured out in order.
