How do I use UriPathExtensionMapping in MVC4? I've added the mapping in the formatter such that: MediaTypeMappings.Add(new UriPathExtensionMapping("json", new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/json")) But I can't use the extension on my route unless I add a verb, such as: routes.MapHttpRoute( name: "DefaultApi", routeTemplate: "api/{controller}.{extension}" ); Then it'll recognize my desired media type, but it also starts expecting "extension" as a parameter on the action. Example: public object Get(string extension) { } Instead of just: public object Get() { } How can I resolve this? Thanks!

In my controller I have this: ViewBag.lstIWantToSend= lstApps.Select(x => x.ID).ToList(); // creates a List<int> and is being populated correctly I want to pass that list to another controller.. so in my view I have: @Html.ActionLink(count, "ActionName", new { lstApps = ViewBag.lstIWantToSend }, null) Method in Controller: public ActionResult ActionName(List<int> lstApps) // lstApps is always null Is there a way to send a list of ints as a route value to a controller method? its not possible directly but you can do it with Json if i have List<int> ViewBag.lstIWantToSend= new List<int> {1, 2, 3

I would like to create routing rules like the following: www.app.com/project/35/search/89/edit/48 ---> action is edit in the project controller The passed variables should be project# (35), search# (89), and edit#(48) Can someone help me structure a routes.MapRout() for this. I want to use: routes.MapRoute( "Default", "{controller}/{projectid}/search/{searchid}/{action}/{actionid}", new { controller = "Home", action = "Edit", projectid = "", actionid = "" } ); But from previous experience, this type of MapRoute will fail... I've only gotten something in the following format to work:

I was working on a Website which was earlier built with ASP.NET Web Forms and now is built with ASP.NET MVC. We made the new MVC version live last week. But the old login url which is www.website.com/login.aspx has been bookmarked by many users and they still use that and hence they get 404 errors. So I was wondering which would be the easiest and best way to redirect the user from the old url to the new mvc url which is www.website.com/account/login Like this login url, I am expecting the users may have bookmarked few other urls also, so what will be the best way to handle this ? You could

When implementing error-handling using the built-in validation-helpers on a strongly-typed view, you usually create a try/catch block within the controller and return a view with it's corresponding model as a parameter to the View() method: The controller public class MessageController : Controller { [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)] public ActionResult Create(Models.Entities.Message message) { try { // Insert model into database var dc = new DataContext(); dc.Messages.InsertOnSubmit(message); dc.SubmitChanges(); return RedirectToAction("List"); } catch { /* If insert fails, return a view with it
