Question

I’ve read through so many threads on here and none of the solutions seem to be working for me.

I’ve had troubles creating areas and finding the associated views. I’ve created a brand new project with nothing else but the default code and created an area called “Assignment”. Within the assignment area I have a controller called “AssignmentDetails” with the corresponding view folder.

When I try and view localhost:1234/AssignmentDetails/ I get the error: The view ‘Index’ or its master was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations

~/Views/AssignmentDetails/Index.aspx
~/Views/AssignmentDetails/Index.ascx
~/Views/Shared/Index.aspx
~/Views/Shared/Index.ascx
~/Views/AssignmentDetails/Index.cshtml
~/Views/AssignmentDetails/Index.vbhtml
~/Views/Shared/Index.cshtml
~/Views/Shared/Index.vbhtml

Globals.asax
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas()

    WebApiConfig.Register(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration)
    FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters)
    RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes)
    BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles)
    AuthConfig.RegisterAuth()

AssignmentAreaRegistration

        context.MapRoute( _
            "Assignment_default", _
           "Assignment/{controller}/{action}/{id}", _
            New With {.action = "Index", .id = UrlParameter.Optional} _
        )

Answer 1

View for a controller from area Assignment should be in

~/Areas/Assignment/Views/ControllerName
