I am messing around with ASP.NET MVC 2 Preview 2 and am trying to figure out how routing works with areas and such. In a single project implementation of areas, I want an area named "admin".
I am trying to be able to have urls like this:
(root)/admin/apples/search
(root)/admin/apples/edit/3
(root)/admin/apples/add
(root)/admin/oranges/search
(root)/admin/oranges/edit/5
(root)/admin/oranges/add
(root)/admin
I have the area created. I have the controllers created with their respective views, but it is the routing that I can't seem to get. Any advice as to how I would achieve such routing?
I am sure this may be extremely simple for some, but I haven't had too much luck in finding examples that go beyond the basic stuff.
Thanks!
Addition to the Question (10/25/2009) I am basically asking what routes and in what order would I set up in the Area's AreaRegistration class? I have done everything mentioned so far, but with no results.
Register areas in single project
You have to add routes.cs file to the admin area folder.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
namespace MvcAreasSingleProject.Areas.Admin
{
public class Routes : AreaRegistration
{
public override string AreaName
{
get { return "admin"; }
}
public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context)
{
context.MapRoute(
"admin_default",
"admin/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Admin", action = "Edit", id = "" }
);
}
}
}
