Application start page url - c#

There is an application on asp.net mvc. And such an interesting moment. There is a start page which is the default configuration in the route. And when you start the application, it writes only localhost ... How to ensure that the default page prescribe its full path like everyone else, i.e. localhost / Controller / Action.
Tell me how to achieve this? I nned like:
How can I achieve this?
My RouteConfig:
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Authorization", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
}

The entire point of the "default" route is having something to show the user when no route is filled in. People that will visit your site won't type in or find "www.yoursite.com/authorization/index" so that's why the routing configures a default route.
If you want your page to show something different by default you need to change the data in the default route in your routes.config and create a controller for it. You could also let the default land at an action that only redirects to "authorization/index" which will change the URL.
Lastly you could simply fix it with some javascript on the page, but I think this will also cause a page reload so fixing it server side is probably best.

Routes are simultaneously valid, yet broken

I asked a previous question here, in which I attempted to use a blank URL to catch a default page.
After some more digging, and some trial and error, I stumbled upon the use of {*url} to catch the root URL. I also attempted to use a constraint to manage the "tidy" url that I want to use. My RouteConfig now looks like so:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "LoginRoute",
url: "{login}",
defaults: new { controller = "LoginController", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
constraints: new { login = "login" }
);
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{*url}",
defaults: new { controller = "authController", action = "routingsuccess" }
);
However, neither of these routes result in a web page. Instead, they still result in 404. Curiously, however, Phil Haack's RouteDebugger reports that the URL I am using is valid, as demonstrated here:
To clarify, accessing the root url (in this case, localhost:3000) results in the same issue.
There is a valid controller, and a valid view behind it with the appropriate action. What could possibly be wrong?
You can just use the normal default routing.
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "authController", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
This just mean, if a controller isn't passed in the url then it will use MainController. If an action isn't passed then it will use Index. This mean http://website.com will go to MainController action Index.
Maybe you are using [Authorise] attribute, or something else for authentication.
I will just make a guess : -
Your route is registred, and there is no problem in it. Problem occurs when you try to access it. There might be some kind of authorisation, like an [Authorise] attribute, that would block non access users to get to your route.
Or there might be something else, that would be causing your code to not be able to reach the ActionResult.
To confirm this, put a breakpoint in the constructor of the COntroller.Remove all attributes from the COntroller. If your debugger stops at the breakpoint in constructor, then the issue is not is registering the route, but access related.
Let me know if it helps.

How to route to url.com/ControllerA/ControllerB/ControllerB's action in MVC

So I have a ProjectsController with the default route url.com/projects/action and I have a Controller for each Project like MosaController. The URL for the project should be url.com/projects/{ProjectName}/action, so in the Mosa example url.com/projects/Mosa/action.
I have set up a route in the RouteConfig that can solve this problem
routes.MapRoute(
name: "ProjectViewRoute",
url: "projects/{controller}/{action}",
defaults: new { controller = "Projects", action = "Index" }
);
This works I can call url.com/projects/action and url.com/projects/Mosa/action and the correct controller is selected, but when I call the URL url.com/{ProjectName}/action it invokes the action, because of the default route. Is there a way to ignore the default route? Or is a there better way of concatenating controllers like this?
Thanks!
Do you need the default route for other portions of your app? If not, why not simply remove it and just have the ProjectViewRoute? Or consider creating "Projects" as an MVC "Area" (https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/getting-started-with-area-in-asp-net-mvc/). This would eliminate the project-specific route outside of the Projects area.

ASP.NET MVC Missing Default Action only for one controller

I don't know what happened to my website. From today the default action "Index" in only one controller doesn't work anymore.
If I call http://website.com/Valuation i get 403 error page because the webserver doesn't route my request and try to browse the folder. If I write http://website.com/Valuation/Index everything works.
I search in all the code but i can't find the problem, everything seems fine like other controllers.
How can i find the problem? Do you know if there are a known issue that cause that problem or you know if there is a trace\log\debugger of routing requests?
Thanks

Most probably the issue is you have a folder by name Valuation in your website root. Thats why the valuation index action is not working. Instead of routing to the Controller Action the url http://website.com/Valuation is routing to the Folder Valuation.
Delete this folder Valuation from your root or rename it then this url http://website.com/Valuation will work.
Also check if the ValuationController has the public ActionResult Index() ([HttpGet] method.
Check ~\App_Start\RouteConfig.cs file
public class RouteConfig
{
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional}
);
}
}

vs 2013 mvc routing not working after change to cshtml view

This is a very strange problem. I am new to the mvc world coming from web forms and i am trying to understand its concepts. Using the MVC template in vs 2013 (premium), I have built a project. In order to see how things work:
I create a new controller 'IndexController' and put it in the folder .../Controllers/IndexController.cs
I create a new View for this controller 'Index.cshtml' and put it in the corresponding folder: .../Views/Index/[#] Index.cshtml
Then I change the routing so that the default routing will now point to this IndexController and not to the default HomeController
Here is my routing table:
public class RouteConfig
{
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Index", action = "GetIndexPage", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
}
}
You can see that I am using 'GetIndexPage' as the default action instead of 'Index' (I'm playing around and see how it works)
Whenerver I make a change in the Index.cshtml (say I add a simple markup and hit 'Run' I always receive the error message
Server Error in '/' Application. The resource cannot be found.
Looking at the address bar I see that the browser is looking for the resource 'localhost:xxx/Index/Index' instead of 'localhost:xxx/Index/GetIndexPage'. To solve this problem, I go in the IndexController and put a breakpoint inthe line
return View(...);
Now I hit 'Run', after stopping at the breakpoint, every thing works perfectly. So it is not a problem of routing since the page is displayed after this breakpoint trick. Visual Studio seems to mess up with the deployment to the IIS Express I am using after I have made a change to the cshtml view. The problem does not occur when I make a change in the code behind of the controller. I don't know where to look at...I have spent this whole night trying to find a solution in Google and stackoverflow...I don't want to reinstall the whole visual studio. Any help, any hint to a certain direction will be greatly appreciated.
After a lot of trials I discover that mvc framework wants the action and the view (that this action returns) must have the same name. In my case this is what has worked:
route configuration:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Index", action = "IndexPage", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
IndexController:
public class IndexController : Controller
{
public ActionResult IndexPage()
{
return View();
}
}
You can see that route action has same name with method of controller: IndexPage
And finally create a view with name IndexPage.cshtml
With this configuration when I make a change in the cshtml file it is immediately reflected in the browser and there is not the error reported above.
I just want to have a confirmation if this is indeed the way things must be set up with the mvc approach. (thanks with your help)

MVC Site - Ensuring the default entry view is always correct

I have a MVC site with AD authorization. This is all working fine. I publish the site to the webserver and call the site directly (http://intranet). If I have not logged in for a while (I have an authorised cookie with a 30 minute TTL), I am prompted to log-in and if successful I am redirected to the homeController's index view. This is great and as expected.
If I keep the session open (browser open) and browse away from the site, if I then browse back to http://intranet, I am not challenged as I have recently authenticated but the default page is from a different controller and not the home page view.
How can I stop this from happening? It cannot be a session setting as this is not a new session and the routes appear correct - they are not beng called at this point anyhow.
Please MVC guru's advise....!
Register route block is as follows:
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
// standard MVC route regsitration
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
"PaginatedTimesheets", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{page}/{view}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Timesheets", action = "Index", page=0, view=0 } // Parameter defaults
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "" } // Parameter defaults
);
}
What is your default route look like? It should be going to your default controller/action specified in your routes.
Fixed with redirect
