MVC4 Default route when using areas

Question

I\'m trying to use areas within MVC app, I would like that the default route will be resolved to the HomeController within the admin area but it resolves to the home controller

Answer 1

Try doing this way....it will help in distinguish.Even if you dont add area="Web", its fine

routes.MapRoute(
    "Default", // Route name
    "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
    new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", area="Web", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
    new[] { "Nop.Web.Controllers" }
).DataTokens["UseNamespaceFallback"] = false;

Same way

context.MapRoute(
    "Admin_default",
    "Admin/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
    new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", area = "Admin", id = "" },
    new[] { "Nop.Admin.Controllers" }
);
