I am attempting to convert this sample RouteBase implementation to work with MVC 6. I have worked out most of it by following the example in the Routing project , but I am getting tripped up on how to return the asynchronous Task from the method. I really don't care if it actually is asynchronous (cheers to anyone who can provide that answer), for now I just want to get it functioning. I have the outgoing routes functioning (meaning ActionLink works fine when I put in the route values). The problem is with the RouteAsync method. public Task RouteAsync(RouteContext context) { var requestPath =

How can I tell if a string matches a particular named route? I have a route like this: routes.MapRoute( "FindYourNewRental", "find-your-new-rental/{market}/{community}.html", new { controller = "FindYourNewRental", action = "Community" } ); string url = "http://www.website.com/find-your-new-rental/northerncalifornia/sacramento.html" How can I programmatically tell if the 'url' string matches that route? Something like this: // matches url with the named route "FindYourNewRental" if (IsRouteMatch(url, "FindYourNewRental")) { // do something } public bool IsRouteMatch(string url, string

I'm working on moving an API project from raw http handlers where I'm using periods in the paths: http://server/collection/id.format I would like to follow the same URL schema in a Web Api (self-hosted) version, and tried this: var c = new HttpSelfHostConfiguration(b); c.Routes.MapHttpRoute( name: "DefaultApiRoute", routeTemplate: "{controller}/{id}.{format}", defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional, format = RouteParameter.Optional }, constraints: null ); Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to resolve (consistent 404's on /foo, /foo/bar and /foo/bar.txt). A similar pattern using a slash

This is a two part question regarding asp.net mvc multilanguage urls/routing and SEO best practices/benefits… Question Part 1) I’m being asked to create a new ASP.NET MVC website that will support a minimum (at first) of two languages (English and French) perhaps in the future, 3 languages… As far as localizing the application (labels, jQuery errors, etc) things should be ok using resource files and I’ve found many examples on this…but my concern/question is more about the URLs. In terms of SEO, what is the recommended approach between these two fashions? Fashion 1 (no culture folder) www

Can I use the following two route rule together ? config.Routes.MapHttpRoute( name: "ActionApi", routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}/{id}", defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional } ); config.Routes.MapHttpRoute( name: "DefaultApi", routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}", defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional } ); Say by controller is = FruitApiController:ApiController and I wish to have the following List<Fruit> Get() = api/FruitApi/ List<Fruit> GetSeasonalFruits() = api/FruitApi/GetSeasonalFruit Fruit GetFruits(string id) = api/FruitApi/15 Fruit GetFruitsByName(string name)

With the default web api route config.Routes.MapHttpRoute( name: "API Default", routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}", defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional } ); and a controller public class TestController : ApiController { [HttpGet] public HttpResponseMessage Get(string id) { return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, id); } } A request to 'api/test/1' returns 1 If for some reason you send a request to 'api/test/1%20' the route 404's. Now this example may seem silly since browsers trim trailing spaces, but for a route like 'api/{controller}/{id}/{extrastuff}' the space in '1 '
