How to achive MVC route with numbers

Anonymous User 1824 26-Dec-2014

I am trying to route an old URL that is domain.com/1024 to my home page in mvc.

I keep getting resource not found errors.

Here is my routeConfig

        routes.MapRoute(
        name: "1024",
        url: "{controller}/{action}",
        defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Direct", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
    );

 My Controller 

    public ActionResult Direct()
    {
 
        return RedirectToAction("Index");
    }

asp.net c#  asp.net mvc  routing

Hi jay

If you have your route definition before the default, for example:

routes.MapRoute(
  name: "1024",
  url: "{id}",
  defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Direct" }
);
routes.MapRoute(
  name: "Default",
  url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
  defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
This will route (host):(port)/ to Index and (host):(port)/1024 to Direct where you can RedirectToAction("Index").

For example a HomeController to demonstrate the point (This ONLY redirects 1024 to index):

public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        //
        // GET: /Home/
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            return View();
        }
        public ActionResult Direct(int? id)
        {
            if (id.HasValue && id.Value == 1024)
            {
                return RedirectToAction("Index");
            }
            else
            {
                return View();
            }
        }
    }
This would redirect any id to index:

public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        //
        // GET: /Home/
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            return View();
        }
        public ActionResult Direct(int? id)
        {
            return RedirectToAction("Index");
        }
    }
