This is baffling me. It was working, now it’s not. For some reason, my AccountController Logon() method can no longer be found, and I cannot understand the reason why.
my Global.asax.cs:
public static readonly ILog Log = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(MvcApplication));
public static void RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilterCollection filters)
{
filters.Add(new HandleErrorAttribute());
}
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
null,
"{area}/{controller}/Paginate/{itemsPerPage}/{pageNumber}/{searchString}", // URL with parameters
new {area = string.Empty, controller = "Home", action="Paginate", searchString = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{area}/{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new {area = string.Empty, controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
}
protected void Application_Start()
{
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
ControllerBuilder.Current.DefaultNamespaces.Add("C3.WebUI.Controllers");
}
I have 2 areas registered, Admin and Finance.
My AccountController:
using System;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Web.Security;
using C3.WebUI.Models;
namespace C3.WebUI.Controllers
{
public class AccountController : SecureController
{
//

public ActionResult LogOn()
{
var model = new LogOnModel();
return View(model);
}
//
// POST: /Account/LogOn
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult LogOn(LogOnModel model, string returnUrl)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
if (Membership.ValidateUser(model.UserName, model.Password))
{
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(model.UserName, model.RememberMe);
Session["User"] = Membership.GetUser(model.UserName, true);
if (Url.IsLocalUrl(returnUrl) && returnUrl.Length > 1 && returnUrl.StartsWith("/")
&& !returnUrl.StartsWith("//") && !returnUrl.StartsWith("/\\"))
{
return Redirect(returnUrl);
}
else
{
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
}
else
{
ModelState.AddModelError("", "The user name or password provided is incorrect.");
}
}
// If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
return View(model);
}
//
// GET: /Account/LogOff
public ActionResult LogOff()
{
FormsAuthentication.SignOut();
Session.Abandon();
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
//
// GET: /Account/Register
public ActionResult Register()

return View();
}

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Register(RegisterModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
// Attempt to register the user
MembershipCreateStatus createStatus;
Membership.CreateUser(model.UserName, model.Password, model.Email, null, null, true, null, out createStatus);
if (createStatus == MembershipCreateStatus.Success)
{
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(model.UserName, false /* createPersistentCookie */);
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
else
{
ModelState.AddModelError("", ErrorCodeToString(createStatus));
}
}
// If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
return View(model);

[Authorize]
public ActionResult ChangePassword()

}
//

[Authorize]
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult ChangePassword(ChangePasswordModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)

// ChangePassword will throw an exception rather
// than return false in certain failure scenarios.
bool changePasswordSucceeded;
try
{
MembershipUser currentUser = Membership.GetUser(User.Identity.Name, true /* userIsOnline */);
changePasswordSucceeded = currentUser.ChangePassword(model.OldPassword, model.NewPassword);
}
catch (Exception)
{
changePasswordSucceeded = false;
}
if (changePasswordSucceeded)
{
return RedirectToAction("ChangePasswordSuccess");
}
else
{
ModelState.AddModelError("", "The current password is incorrect or the new password is invalid.");
}
}
// If we got this far, something failed, redisplay form
return View(model);
}
//

public ActionResult ChangePasswordSuccess()
{
return View();
}
#region Status Codes
private static string ErrorCodeToString(MembershipCreateStatus createStatus)

switch (createStatus)

case MembershipCreateStatus.DuplicateUserName:

I have changed very little here.
My ~Views/Account/LogOn.cshtml:
@model C3.WebUI.Models.LogOnModel
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Log On";
}
<h2>Log On</h2>
@Html.ValidationSummary(true, "Login was unsuccessful. Please correct the errors and try again.")
@using (Html.BeginForm()) {
<div>
<fieldset>
<legend>Account Information</legend>
<div class="editor-label">
@Html.LabelFor(m => m.UserName)
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.UserName)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.UserName)
</div>
<div class="editor-label">
@Html.LabelFor(m => m.Password)
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
@Html.PasswordFor(m => m.Password)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Password)
</div>
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Log On" />
</p>
</fieldset>
</div>
}
As far as I can tell, everything looks right and proper. Why am I getting a 404 error when navigating to /Account/LogOn?ReturnUrl=%2f?
OK, never mind, I figured it out.
for my route registration, I thought I should specify the area as part of the route; this was apparently incorrect. Once I removed the
areasegment of the route registration, all was working normally again.
