I am using conventional routing on an ASP.Net MVC project and would like to enable Attribute routing in parallel. I have created the following but I am getting a 404 on the conventional route when enabling attribute routing
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapMvcAttributeRoutes();
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
}
Controller
[RoutePrefix("Registration")]
public class RegistrationController : Controller
{
[HttpGet]
[Route("Add/{eventId}")]
public ActionResult Add(int eventId)
{
}
}
Calling
http://localhost/Registration/Add/1
Works, while calling
http://localhost/Registration/Add?eventId=1
No longer works and responds with 404 NotFound
Should work if you make the {eventId} template parameter optional in the route template
[RoutePrefix("Registration")]
public class RegistrationController : Controller {
//GET Registration/Add/1
//GET Registration/Add?eventId=1
[HttpGet]
[Route("Add/{eventId:int?}")]
public ActionResult Add(int eventId) {
//...
}
}
The reason the two were not working is that the route template Add/{eventId} means that the route will only match if the {eventId} is present, which is why
http://localhost/Registration/Add/1
works.
By making it (eventId) optional eventid? it will allow
http://localhost/Registration/Add
to work as the template parameter is not required. This will now allow query string ?eventId=1 to be used, which the routing table will use to match the int eventId parameter argument on the action.
http://localhost/Registration/Add?eventId=1
