If you're running Angular 2 through ASP.NET Core 1 in Visual Studio 2015, you might find this solution from Jürgen Gutsch helpful. He describes it in a blog post. It was the best solution for me. Place the C# code provided below in your Startup.cs public void Configure() just before app.UseStaticFiles();
app.Use( async ( context, next ) => {
await next();
if( context.Response.StatusCode == 404 && !Path.HasExtension( context.Request.Path.Value ) ) {
context.Request.Path = "/index.html";
await next();
}
});
