Question

Suppose I have the following routing

routes.MapRoute(
   "Default", // Route name
   "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
    new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } );

Now, when you generate an url using Url.Action(“Index”,”MyController”) you will get as expected : /MyController

But in one exceptional case, I would like to get the full url /MyController/Index
(without changing the routing)… does anyone know if this is possible?

Answer 1

It is possible. But you need to modify the routing.

1. Create an own routing class that derives Route
2. Override the GetVirtualPath() method to include /index for the pages that needs it.
3. Configure the default route using your routing class instead.
