ASP.NET MVC C# Multiple Url Routes Config Controller Action

I want create route config multiple Url. ex: "fr-ca/user/login" and "en-ca/user/login" and its working, but if click submit and proccess data by controller and return RedirectToAction(MVC.User.Dashboard); always return "fr-ca/user/dashboard";
Although I use Url "en-ca/", and always return all link MVC.anything in first is "fr-ca/"
Because in position route config, "fr-ca" is first.
Maybe somebody can help me to solve this, thank u.
routes.MapRoute(
name: "fr-Default",
url: "fr-ca/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = MVC.Content.Name, action = MVC.Content.ActionNames.Show, id = UrlParameter.Optional, siteId = Site.FR.Id },
namespaces: new string[] { "Jay.Cms.Web.Controllers" }
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "en-Default",
url: "en-ca/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = MVC.Content.Name, action = MVC.Content.ActionNames.Show, id = UrlParameter.Optional, siteId = Site.EN.Id },
namespaces: new string[] { "Jay.Cms.Web.Controllers" }
);

You can write to action attribute in controller
'[Route("fr-ca/{controller}/{action}/{id}")]
[Route("en-ca/{controller}/{action}/{id}")]
public ActionResult Home()
{
return View();
}'

Map route to to index action in .NET MVC

How do I map unmatched routes to the index action for that controller?
I'm using a client side router for routes like /Home/foo
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Test",
url: "{controller}/{*.}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
This currently results in a 404.

Your route that you used is correct, the problem is the orders of the routes that need to be added in write format:
for example if you have some routes like:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "PreTest",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Test",
url: "{controller}/{*.}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
So it is always matched with first route PreTest. Check your routes order. It is work like a dictionary that ordered. Check this for more information.

I would create an AuthorizeAttribute to handle your case. Then you can decorate your controller with that attribute.
Here's a small example to redirect your action base on a value in the route:
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class | AttributeTargets.Method)]
public sealed class RedirectAttribute:ActionFilterAttribute
{
public override void OnActionExecuted(ActionExecutedContext filterContext)
{
if(filterContext.Controller.ControllerContext.RouteData.Values.ContainsValue("Foo"))
{
//Redirect to the login for example
UrlHelper urlHelper = new UrlHelper(filterContext.HttpContext.Request.RequestContext);
string url = urlHelper.Action("actionName", "controllerName");
filterContext.Result = new RedirectResult(redirectUrl);
}
}
}
Here's how to use it in a controller:
[Redirect]
public class MyCustomController : AsyncController
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
public ActionResult Foo()
{
//It will redirect
return View();
}
}

Asp.net Mvc Route By Only Slug

I'm using ASP.NET MVC 4 with C#. I'm using areas and it's named like "Admin"
Here is my route config;
public static class RouteConfig
{
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(name: "PageBySlug",
url: "{slug}",
defaults: new {controller = "Home", action = "RenderPage"},
constraints: new {slug = ".+"});
routes.MapRoute(name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new {controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional},
namespaces: new[] { "Web.Frontend.Controllers.Controllers" });
}
}
I generated frontend page links like; "products/apple-iphone"
So I want to call them like this.
But the error is: The code can't get the controller / action method.
I used frontend page links like;
#Html.ActionLink(linkItem.Title, "RenderPage", routeValues: new {controller = "Home", slug = linkItem.PageSlug})
#Html.RouteLink(linkItem.Title, routeName: "PageBySlug", routeValues: new { controller = "Home", action = "RenderPage", slug = linkItem.PageSlug })
#linkItem.Title
#linkItem.Title
They are rendering url links like; http://localhost:1231/products/apple-iphone
It's like what I want. But when I click any link, asp.net mvc gives me this error:
Server Error in '/' Application.
The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Requested URL: /products/apple-iphone
Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319; ASP.NET Version:4.6.1069.1
Here is my controller;
namespace Web.Frontend.Controllers
{
public class HomeController : BaseFrontendController
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
public ActionResult RenderPage(string slug)
{
return View();
}
}
}
So how can I catch every link request like this combined slug and turn my coded view ?

The problem is, When you request products/iphone, the routing engine don't know whether you meant the slug "products/iphone" or the controller "products" and action method "iphone".
You can write a custom route constraint to take care of this. This constraint will check whether the slug part of the urls is a valid controller or not, if yes,the controller action will be executed.
public class SlugConstraint : IRouteConstraint
{
public bool Match(HttpContextBase httpContext, Route route, string parameterName,
RouteValueDictionary values, RouteDirection routeDirection)
{
var asm = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
//Get all the controller names
var controllerTypes = (from t in asm.GetExportedTypes()
where typeof(IController).IsAssignableFrom(t)
select t.Name.Replace("Controller", ""));
var slug = values["slug"];
if (slug != null)
{
if (controllerTypes.Any(x => x.Equals(slug.ToString(),
StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)))
{
return false;
}
else
{
var c = slug.ToString().Split('/');
if (c.Any())
{
var firstPart = c[0];
if (controllerTypes.Any(x => x.Equals(firstPart,
StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)))
{
return false;
}
}
}
return true;
}
return false;
}
}
Now use this route constraint when you register your custom route definition for the slug. make sure you use {*slug} in the route pattern. The * indicates it is anything(Ex : "a/b/c")(Variable number of url segments- more like a catch all)
routes.MapRoute(name: "PageBySlug",
url: "{*slug}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "RenderPage" },
constraints: new { slug = new SlugConstraint() }
, namespaces: new string[] { "Web.Frontend.Controllers.Controllers" });
routes.MapRoute(
"Default",
"{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
, new string[] { "Web.Frontend.Controllers.Controllers" });

you can provide only this type of link
#linkItem.Title
Because Routetable find your route using Route name provided by you. so controller name and action name is not necessary.

Trying to format URL for Action using multiple params in MVC

I have the following action result:
public ActionResult Index(int id, int? siteId)
{
//code here....
return View(object);
}
I have the following route mapping as follows:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "SettingsRoute",
url: "Settings/{id}/{siteId}",
defaults: new
{
controller = "Settings",
action = "Index",
}
);
What do I need to do, so the url will be "Settings?id=1&siteId=133" instead of the format "Settings?id=1" durring initial load. Then to select a site it builds the URl "Settings/1/133".
I am using the following actionLink to create this:
<li>#Html.ActionLink(site.Name, "Index", "Settings", new { id = Model.SettingsEnvironment.EnvironmentID, siteId = site.SiteID }, null)</li>
I can't seem to get the routing down right. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You need to set your optional URL parameter:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "SettingsRoute",
url: "Settings/{id}/{siteId}",
defaults: new
{
controller = "Settings",
action = "Index",
siteId = UrlParameter.Optional
}
);

C# MVC 3 Root Route doesn't seem to work

EDIT: Sorry I explained it badly. Basically, in the below example, I want "this-is-handled-by-content-controller" to be the "id", so I can grab it in ContentController as an action parameter, but I want to access it via the root of the site, e.g mysite.com/this-is-not-passed-to-homecontroller.
I'm trying to create a root route that will go to a separate controller (instead of home).
I've followed the "RootController" example posted somewhere else that implements IRouteConstraint but it just doesn't seem to work and I've already wasted a couple of hours on this!
Basically, I have a LoginController, a HomeController, and a ContentController.
I want to be able to view HomeController/Index by going to http://mysite/. I want to be able to view LoginController/Index by going to http://mysite/Login. But.. I want the ContentController/Index to be called if any other result occurs, e.g: http:/mysite/this-is-handled-by-content-controller
Is there an elegant way to do this that works?
This was my last attempt.. I've cut/pasted/copied/scratched my head so many times its a bit messy:
routes.MapRoute(
"ContentPages",
"{action}",
new { Area = "", controller = "ContentPages", action = "View", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
new RootActionConstraint()
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { Area = "", controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }, // Parameter defaults
new string[] { "Website.Controllers" }
);
Any help is appreciated greatly!

I would do something similar to this, though that might not be the best solution if you keep adding more controller in the future.
routes.MapRoute(
"HomePage",
"",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id="" }
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Home",
"home/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id="" }
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Login",
"Login/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Login", action = "Index", id="" }
);
//... if you have other controller, specify the name here
routes.MapRoute(
"Content",
"{*id}",
new { controller = "Content", action = "Index", id="" }
);
The first route is for your youwebsite.com/ that call your Home->Index. The second route is for other actions on your Home Controller (yourwebsite.com/home/ACTION).
The 3rd is for your LoginController (yourwebsite.com/login/ACTION).
And the last one is for your Content->Index (yourwebsite.com/anything-that-goes-here).
public ActionResult Index(string id)
{
// id is "anything-that-goes-here
}

Assuming you have ContentController.Index(string id) to handle routes matching the constraint, this should work:
routes.MapRoute(
"ContentPages",
"{id}",
new { Area = "", controller = "Content", action = "Index" },
new { id = new RootActionConstraint() }
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { Area = "", controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
new string[] { "Website.Controllers" }
);
