ASP.Net MVC3 routing reserved words?

Question

I have an ASP.Net MVC application with the standard routes defined. The app edits meta data for our database. The url scheme is:

http://localhost/tables/Ed         


        

Answer 1

CON is a reserved word like COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, LPT1, LPT2, AUX, PRN, NUL.

I also run into this problem while using ajax request. I solved by putting "-" char at the beginning of parameter, and then I replaced it in code-behind.

But it was a silly solution, you can solve this problem easily by simply adding

    
        
         ......
    

to your Web.config file and you can safely use these words in urls.
