I got simple web application with 1 default routing:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Game", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
My controller contains the following actions:
public class GameController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
// some actions
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult CreateGame(Game game, User user)
{
// some actions
return View("Game");
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult JoinGame(User user)
{
// some actions
return View("Game");
}
}
Also under Views/Game folder I got "Index" and "Game" views.
But when I start application from time to time (NOT ALWAYS!) it requests
http://localhost:55815/Game/Game
instead of
http://localhost:55815 or http://localhost:55815/Game/Index
Your application default route is working fine.
The debugger starts url http://localhost:55815/Game/Game because the file Game.cshtml is currently opened in your Visual Studio.
The solution is on your VisualStudio project configuration.
Choose specific page with empty value instead of current/active Page.
Actually,
/Game/Game
and
/Game/Index
are both the same. When you check you default routing file you can see that your main controller is written with predefined controller and action. So the program automatically resolve this url according to that. Mostly try your web application not in visual studio debug but put it under IIS than if you need debugging, debug IIS instance.
Good luck
I have a C# .Net 4.5 Web Api application to which I have added a Help Page such as the one shown here.
When a developer launches the Web Api application in Visual Studio, I would like the help page to come up.
I would like to accomplish this by the using routing (such as a change to WebApiConfig.cs or Global.asax.cs) as opposed to a setting in the project's properties.
In the WebApiConfig.cs file I tried adding the following -
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute("Default", "api/help");
That did not work. Does anyone know how to make this work? Thanks.
Two years late, but for the benefit of Googlers like myself - A way to do it (based on this answer) is simply to modify the RegisterArea method in the HelpPageAreaRegistration.cs class in the HelpPage Area to contain a blank route. Example -
public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context)
{
context.MapRoute(
"HelpPage_Default",
"Help/{action}/{apiId}",
new { controller = "Help", action = "Index", apiId = UrlParameter.Optional });
context.MapRoute(
"Help Area",
"",
new { controller = "Help", action = "Index" });
HelpPageConfig.Register(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration);
}
I have added the following code
public class RouteController : Controller
{
public ContentResult GetImpression()
{
// Do something
}
}
In RouteConfig class i have added the following
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Impression",
url: "imp",
defaults: new { controller = "Route", action = "GetImpression", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
I am expecting my http://mymachine/imp to work. What am i doing wrong? Do i have to do some settings in IIS as well?
For issues with routing I have always found the following tool from Phil Hacck to be invaluable in figuring out where I screwed up with my routing rules and what is getting called. There is nothing special you need to do in IIS to get things working. The one thing you probably should check is to ensure if your Application Pool is using version 4.0 and not version 2.0. Usually when you create a site in IIS it defaults the App Pool to 2.0.
I've come across a bit of a weird problem I can't make sense of. One of my controllers has stopped working, but if I rename it then it works fine. I don't have any special routing wrapped around this controller, it just uses my default.
To give specifics, I have a controller called "Kangaroo". In the browser, if I go to {server}/Kangaroo, then I get the "The Resource cannot be found" message. However, if I go to {server}/Kangaroo/Index, then my page loads as normal. I don't have this problem on any of my other controllers, only this one. If I rename the controller (and my view folder) to "Kangaroo2", then it works perfectly fine.
Here is my route:
public class RouteDefinitions {
public static void AddRoutes(RouteCollection routes) {
routes.Ignore("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute("Resources",
"cache/{action}/{key}/{version}/{type}",
new { controller = "Cache",
action = "CacheContent",
key = "",
version = "",
type = "" });
routes.MapRoute("Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new {
controller = "Home",
action = "Index",
id = ""
} // Parameter defaults
);
}
}
Does anyone have an idea of what could be going on here? I thought it might just be a weird visual studio thing, but restarting did not correct the issue.
Just figured out what the problem was. There was a folder in my project called "/Kangaroo". I guess it was treating it like a script or other content. Since the path existed it was attempting to load something from the path.
I am having a problem where I try to open my ASP.NET MVC application but I get the ASP.NET error page which says this:
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: /EventScheduler/account.aspx/login
Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.3053; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.3053**
I am using the URL trick from this blog post and that is why I have the .aspx in the URL:
http://blog.codeville.net/2008/07/04/options-for-deploying-aspnet-mvc-to-iis-6/
It works on my other sandbox server (not a dev machine), and now I just deployed it to my production site as a new virtual directory, but for some reason it seems like it's actually looking for a .aspx file.
Any ideas? I think I must be forgetting a step.
I got the same error when building. The default is to use URLRoute settings for navigating. If you select the "Set as Startup Page" property by right clicking any cshtml page, that throws this error because there are always a routing to the current page under the Global.asax file.
Look at Project Properties for Startup Path and delete it.
I found the solution for this problem, you don't have to delete the global.asax, as it contains some valuable info for your proyect to run smoothly, instead have a look at your controller's name, in my case, my controller was named something as MyController.cs and in the global.asax it's trying to reference a Home Controller.
Look for this lines in the global asax
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
in my case i had to get like this to work
new { controller = "My", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
Make sure you're not telling IIS to check and see if a file exists before serving it up. This one has bitten me a couple times. Do the following:
Open IIS manager. Right click on your MVC website and click properties. Open the Virtual Directory tab. Click the Configuration... button. Under Wildcard application maps, make sure you have a mapping to c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll. MAKE SURE "Verify the file exists" IS NOT CHECKED!
You should carefully review your Route Values.
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
In this case, ensure you have your Controller 'Home' as the application will fail to load if there is no HomeController with Index Action. In My case I had HomesController and I missed the 's' infront of the Home. I Fixed the Name mismatch and this resolved the issue on both my local environment and on my server.
If you're running IIS 6 and above, make sure the application pool your MVC app. is using is set to Integrated Managed Pipeline Mode. I had mine set to Classic by mistake and the same error occurred.
The page is not found cause the associated controller doesn't exit. Just create the specific Controller. If you try to show the home page, and use Visual Studio 2015, follow this steps:
Right click on Controller folder, and then select Add > Controller;
Select MVC 5 Controller - Empty;
Click in Add;
Put HomeController for the controller name;
Build the project and after Run your project again
I hope this help
Two Things Needs To Be Ensure:
1) Route should be proper in Global.ascx file
2) Don't forget to add reference of Controller Project in your Web Project (view is in separate project from controller)
The second one is my case.
Had the same issue, in my case the cause was that the web.config file was missing in the virtual dir folder.
I got the same error while building a MVC application.
In my case it happened because I forgot to add the string "Controller" in my controller name.
Error With
public class ProductType : BaseController
{
public ProductType()
{
}
}
Resolved
public class ProductTypeController : BaseController
{
public ProductTypeController ()
{
}
}
In your Project open Global.asax.cs then right click on Method RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes); then click Go To Definition
then at defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id =UrlParameter.Optional}
then change then Names of "Home" to your own controller Name and Index to your own View Name if you have changed the Names other then "HomeController" and "Index"
Hope your Problem will be Solved.
Step 1 : Check to see if you have received the following update? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894670 If you have you might want to follow this procedure and see if it works for you. It worked partially for me.
The item where it mentions the additional "/" to be removed is not entirely true but it did give me some insight to change my project properties just a bit.
step 2 : Right click on your properties for your Web Project in your Solun.
Select WEB > Choose Current Page instead of Specific Page.
step 3 : Go into your project where you keep your *.aspx's select a start page. (Should be the same as the current page or choose another one of your choice :) )
Hit Debug Run.
Suppose source code copy from other places.
Sometime, if you use Virtual Directory in your application url like:
http://localhost:50385/myapp/#/
No route will pick up the request.
solution:
Explicitly click the button 'create a virtual directory' in your project file.
Go to any page you want to see it in browser right click--> view in browser.
this way working with me.
Upon hours of debugging, it was just an c# error in my html view.
Check your view and track down any error
Don't comment c# code using html style ie
Open your Controller.cs file and near your public ActionResult Index(), in place of Index write the name of your page you want to run in the browser. For me it was public ActionResult Login().
Remember to use PUBLIC for ActionResult:
public ActionResult Details(int id)
{
return View();
}
instead of
ActionResult Details(int id)
{
return View();
}
you must check if you implemented the page in the controller
for example:
public ActionResult Register()
{
return View();
}
I had a similar problem. But I was working with Episerver locally with ssl enabled. When I wasn't getting a
Server Error in '/' Application.
I was getting a Insecure connection error.
In the end, for me, this post on PluralSight together with configuring the website urls, accordingly with the ssl link set up on the project's config, on Admin's Manage Website's screen solved the problem.
In my case, I needed to replace this:
#Html.ActionLink("Return license", "Licenses_Revoke", "Licenses", new { id = userLicense.Id }, null)
With this:
Return license
<script type="text/javascript">
function returnLicense(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.post('#Url.Action("Licenses_Revoke", "Licenses", new { id = Model.Customer.AspNetUser.UserLicenses.First().Id })', getAntiForgery())
.done(function (res) {
window.location.reload();
});
}
</script>
Even if I don't understand why. Suggestions are welcome!
For me its solved follow the following steps :
One reason for this occur is if you don't have a start page or wrong start page set under your web project's properties. So do this:
1- Right click on your MVC project
2- Choose "Properties"
3- Select the "Web" tab
4- Select "Specific Page"
Assuming you have a controller called HomeController and an action method called Index, enter "home/index" in to the text box corresponding to the "Specific Page" radio button.
Now, if you launch your web application, it will take you to the view rendered by the HomeController's Index action method.
It needs you to add a Web Form, just go to add on properties -> new item -> Web Form. Then wen you run it, it will work. Simple
I had the same problem caused by my script below. The problem was caused by url variable. When I added http://|web server name|/|application name| in front of /Reports/ReportPage.aspx ... it started to work.
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
DisplayReport();
});
function DisplayReport() {
var url = '/Reports/ReportPage.aspx?ReportName=AssignmentReport';
if (url === '')
return;
var myFrame = document.getElementById('frmReportViewer');
if (myFrame !== null) {
if (myFrame.contentWindow !== null && myFrame.contentWindow.location !== null) {
myFrame.contentWindow.location = url;
}
else {
myFrame.setAttribute('src', url);
}
}
}
</script>
