mvc: does the favicon.ico also look for a controller?

Question

I get an error:

\"The controller for path \'/favicon.ico\' was not found or does not implement IController\"

Then I thought: how

Answer 1

The top answers are correct.

routes.IgnoreRoute("{*favicon}", new { favicon = @"(.*/)?favicon.ico(/.*)?" });

But for newer versions of MVC you must add this at the top of the RegisterRoutes method in RouteConfig.cs (so somewhere before routes.MapRoute(..) is called).
