How can I add a route to the RouteConfig.cs file in an ASP.NET MVC 4 app to perform a permanent 301 redirect to another route? I would like certain different routes to point at the same controller action - it seems a 301 would be best practice for this, specially for SEO? Thanks. You have to use RedirectPermanent, here's an example: public class RedirectController : Controller { public ActionResult News() { // your code return RedirectPermanent("/News"); } } in the global asax: routes.MapRoute( name: "News old route", url: "web/news/Default.aspx", defaults: new { controller = "Redirect",

Given the following webapiconfig; config.Routes.MapHttpRoute( name: "DefaultApi", routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}", defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional } ); and this controller; public class ProductsController : ApiController { Product[] _products = new Product[] { new Product { Id = 1, Name = "Tomato Soup", Category = "Groceries", Price = 1 }, new Product { Id = 2, Name = "Yo-yo", Category = "Toys", Price = 3.75M }, new Product { Id = 3, Name = "Hammer", Category = "Hardware", Price = 16.99M } }; public IEnumerable<Product> GetAllProducts() { return _products; } } Using the URL

I'm working on 'ASP.NET MVC 4' application. I'm using/learning SimpleMembershipProvider and try to stick to the default logic created by VS2012 with the Internet template (if I'm not mistaken, the one with 'SimpleMembershipProvider' out of the box). I'm stuck at the AccountController where I just can't figure put how exactly I can use this method: private ActionResult RedirectToLocal(string returnUrl) { if (Url.IsLocalUrl(returnUrl)) { return Redirect(returnUrl); } else { return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home"); } } From what I understand the whole idea is to get redirected to the location

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/Edit/[Name of Table Here] This calls the edit function on the tables controller and passes in the name of the table as the parameter id . All of the tables work fine except one named con . The following URL results in a 404: http://localhost/tables/Edit/con The only thing I can think of is that con must be some sort of reserved word with respect to MVC routing. Does anyone know whether this is the case and if there are other reserved words to
