ASP.NET MVC 2 matches correct area route but generates URL to the first registered area instead.
- by Sandor Drieënhuizen
I'm working on a S#arpArchitecture 1.5 project, which uses ASP.NET MVC 2. I've been trying to get areas to work properly but I ran into a problem:
The ASP.NET MVC 2 routing engine matches the correct route to my area but then it generates an URL that belongs to the first registered area instead.
Here's my request URL:
/Framework/Authentication/LogOn?ReturnUrl=%2fDefault.aspx
I'm using the Route Tester from Phil Haack and it shows:
Matched Route: Framework/{controller}/{action}/{id}
Generated URL: /Data/Authentication/LogOn?ReturnUrl=%2FDefault.aspx using the route "Data/{controller}/{action}/{id}"
That's clearly wrong, the URL should point to the Framework area, not the Data area.
This is how I register my routes, nothing special there IMO.
private static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
routes.MapRoute(
"default",
"{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional });
}
The area registration classes all look like this. Again, nothing special.
public class FrameworkAreaRegistration : AreaRegistration
{
public override string AreaName
{
get
{
return "Framework";
}
}
public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context)
{
context.MapRoute(
"Framework_default",
"Framework/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional });
}
}
