Question

I’m trying out ASP.NET MVC routing and have of course stumbled across a problem. I have a section, /Admin/Pages/, and this is also accessible through /Pages/, which it shouldn’t. What could I be missing?

The routing code in global.asax:

public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes) {         routes.IgnoreRoute('{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}');         routes.MapRoute(             'Pages',    // Route name             'Admin/Pages/{action}/{id}',  // URL with parameters             // Parameter defaults             new { controller = 'Pages', action = 'Index', id = '' }           );          routes.MapRoute(             'Default',   // Route name             '{controller}/{action}/{id}',   // URL with parameters              // Parameter defaults             new { controller = 'Home', action = 'Index', id = '' }           );      } 

Thanks!

I’d suggest adding an explicit route for /Pages/ at the beginning.

The problem is that it’s being handled by the Default route and deriving:

controller = ‘Pages’ action = ‘Index’ id = ”

which are exactly the same as the parameters for your Admin route.
