I have two Areas in my MVC 5 app that are not working properly.
When I use the following Link http://localhost:45970/Admin/Admin
the app loads the proper index.cshtml whicxh is located at /Areas/Admin/Views/Admin/Index.cshtml
however when I try to load http://localhost:45970/Admin
it tries to load the Index.cshtml file from /Views/Admin/Index.cshtml
.
All the search results say I am doing the correct thing. I have even loaded a sample API project to look at the help area in it to make sure I was doing things correctly.
Here is my RouteConfig.cs file
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Web.Routing;
namespace BlocqueStore_Web
{
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 },
namespaces: new[] { "BlocqueStore_Web.Controllers" }
);
}
}
}
Here is the Application_Start() section of my Global.asax.cs file
protected void Application_Start()
{
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
GlobalConfiguration.Configure(WebApiConfig.Register);
FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);
}
And finally my AdminAreaRegistration.cs file
using System.Web.Mvc;
namespace BlocqueStore_Web.Areas.Admin
{
public class AdminAreaRegistration : AreaRegistration
{
public override string AreaName
{
get
{
return "Admin";
}
}
public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context)
{
context.MapRoute(
"Admin_default",
"Admin/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
namespaces: new[] { "BlocqueStore_Web.Areas.Admin.Controllers" }
);
}
}
}
So, what am I missing?
