Adding MVC4 to Webforms Application - Routing Not Working
Question
I'm trying to add MVC 4 into an existing webforms project. I followed this guide: https://www.packtpub.com/books/content/mixing-aspnet-webforms-and-aspnet-mvc
After adding to the web.config:
<add assembly="System.Core, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>
<add assembly="System.Web.Mvc, Version=4.0.0.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
<add assembly="System.Web.Routing, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
<add assembly="System.Web.Abstractions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
<add assembly="System.Web.WebPages, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
I made a Controller (HomeController.cs) in the Controllers folder:
using System.Web.Mvc;
namespace MixingBothWorldsExample.Controllers
{
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
ViewData["Message"] = "This is ASP.NET MVC!";
return View();
}
}
}
I then added my view at Views/Home/index.aspx:
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="index.aspx.cs" Inherits="MixingBothWorldsExample.Views.Home.Index" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<h1><%=Html.Encode(ViewData["Message"]) %></h1>
</div>
</body>
Then added my route:
void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Code that runs on application startup
RegisterRoutes(System.Web.Routing.RouteTable.Routes);
}
public static void RegisterRoutes(System.Web.Routing.RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.aspx/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute("Test", "{controller}/{action}/{id}", new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional });
}
For some reason, everything in my existing webforms project works just fine (including PageRoutes), however /home/index gives me a 404, implying that it's not even routing to the controller.
Anyone have any ideas?

Ultimately, I ended taking my existing website and adding it to an MVC application, rather than going the other way around. The routing worked just fine then.

Try this,
public static void RegisterRoutes(System.Web.Routing.RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute("Test", "{controller}/{action}/{id}", new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional });
}

I think you might need to add an id parameter to the Index method in HomeController. Even though it's optional, the router is looking for a method that takes an id.
Edit: Sorry, I don't know what I was thinking. This is wrong as demonstrated by the article you reference.

Can you try out the following routing rules. This works for me in MVC4 projects. This defines what is the default page that will load when you navigate to some url and port like locallhost:4897
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 }
);
}
