It would help if you posted the source for your route configuration. I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say to make sure that your IgnoreRoute() calls are all at the top of your routing definition.

The way IgnoreRoute works is to create a route that matches the ignored route URL and constraints, and attaches a StopRoutingHandler as the RouteHandler. The UrlRoutingModule knows that a StopRoutingHandler means it shouldn't route the request.

As we know, the routes are matched in the order of which they are defined. So, if your {controller}/{action}/{id} route appears before your "FileVistaControl/filevista.asmx/GetLanguageFile/" route, then it will match the "{controller}/{action}/{id}" route.

I may be totally off base here, but it's hard to know without seeing your source. Hope this helps. And post source code! You'll get better answers.
