How do you set up the routing to handle http://mysite.com/Foo?
Where foo can be any value. I want it to go to /Home/Action/Id where foo is the id.
These are the mappings I have tried:
routes.MapRoute("Catchall", "{*catchall}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id=""});
routes.MapRoute("ByKey", "{id}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" id=""});
They both generated a 404.
Thanks for any help.
Try this (note you had a missing comma in your original post):
routes.MapRoute("ByKey", "{id}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id=""});
I would, however, make it a bit more explanatory to prevent clashes later, even if it means a bit longer URIs:
routes.MapRoute("ByKey", "ByKey/{id}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id=""});
And place this as the first MapRoute command. Order does matter there, and the first route you add is the first route for a URL to be tested with.
Your second route is correct. It should work. Maybe you have another routes above? Debug your routes with Phil Haack's ASP.NET Routing Debugger
"~/foo".Route().ShouldMapTo<HomeController>(x => x.Index("foo")); would be interesting. You should post an answer tooSteps to solve Right click on the project Go to web tab of the page. My Start URL was found to be empty I copied what in Project url of Servers section Pasted at Start Url
It worked.
