I am surprised to see that there is no article which answers this question with any details. I have few questions related to RouteData.Values[""] . I saw this code: public ActionResult Index() { ViewBag.Message = string.Format("{0}---{1}--{2}", RouteData.Values["Controller"], RouteData.Values["action"], RouteData.Values["id"]); return View(); } Here it is basically reading values which potentially sounds like "Meta-data" of the controller. Or is it something that View can also pass to Controller? RouteData.Values is used for accessing the values/querystring values inserted by the classes

Does any body knows how to hide some parameters in url? For example you have a url parameter "culture". It can be "en, fr, it". By default your site renders in "en" culture and we don't wont to show default culture in the URL but in cases of other cultures parameter "culture" must appear in URL. http://myrendersite.net/barbikueue http://myrendersite.net/fr/barbikueue This is same pages in different cultures.

In my ASP.NET MVC 4 application's RouteConfig file, I have registered the following default route: routes.MapRoute("Default", "{controller}/{action}/{id}", new { controller = "home", action = "index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }); Now, in my Razor views, I want to generate a URL to my application's root like that: <a href="@Url.Action("index", "home")">Home</a> The generated URL includes a trailing slash; clicking the link thus opens the page localhost/IISApplicationName /. However, I want the URL not to contain the trailing slash so that the URL is localhost/IISApplicationName . Generating

I just began working on an application with a couple areas (basic grid master / details type system..) I'm looking into taking advantage of the nice routing features in MVC (4 specifically) and I'm "just not getting it" I presume. Currently the only route defined is the basic one: routes.MapRoute("Default", "{controller}/{action}/{id}", new { controller = "Account", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } ); which is fine, it works with the areas we have defined, so I'm assuming it must know where the user is and route to the appropriate controller based contextually on the location /

I have a project (named Product.Api ) that has some controllers used for our WebAPI site. The controllers are in a namespace Product.Api.Controllers . The project also has some other helper stuff as well. This is compiled into a library. I also have another regular ASP.NET MVC4 website named Product.Web . This has Controllers (under the namespace Product.Web.Controllers ), Models and Views (in its corresponding folders). It also has a Global.asax.cs which has the routing information. When the site is created in IIS (.NET 4.5, IIS7, integrated mode, etc), I copy the Product.Api dll into the bin

Folks, I have been working on an MVC 3 app. I was using VS 2010's built-in web server. Today, for various reasons, I was asked to move it into a virtual directory and run it under IIS 7, still on my development PC. Now that its URL is "localhost/MyVirtualDirectory" as opposed to "localhost:12345", what do I need to change to make routing work, and where?
