I have a solution with two projects in it. A portable areas project, and a web site that references the portable areas project, and Both reference MvcContrib.
The problem I am have is with the embedded resources, they are giving me a 404 error when I try to get to them. It seems like it's trying to access a physical path not the dll. The partial view works fine.
The file I'm trying to access looks like this inside my visual studio solution explorer
AdHocReporting/Areas/AdHocReportBuilder/Content/adhoc.css (the build action is embedded)
Here is the routing for the portable area:
using System.Web.Mvc;
using MvcContrib.PortableAreas;
namespace AdHocReporting.Areas.AdHocReportBuilder
{
public class AdHocReportBuilderAreaRegistration : PortableAreaRegistration
{
public override string AreaName
{
get { return "AdHocReportBuilder"; }
}
public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context, IApplicationBus bus)
{
RegisterRoutes(context);
RegisterAreaEmbeddedResources();
}
private void RegisterRoutes(AreaRegistrationContext context)
{
context.MapRoute(
AreaName + "_content",
base.AreaRoutePrefix + "/Content/{resourceName}",
new { controller = "EmbeddedResource", action = "Index", resourcePath = "Content" },
new[] { "MvcContrib.PortableAreas" }
);
context.MapRoute(
AreaName + "_default",
base.AreaRoutePrefix + "/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
}
}
}
Here is the Web sites Global.aspx that has the reference to the portable area
namespace AdHocReportingSite
{
public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
public static void RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilterCollection filters)
{
filters.Add(new HandleErrorAttribute());
}
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
}
protected void Application_Start()
{
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
PortableAreaRegistration.RegisterEmbeddedViewEngine();
FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
}
}
}
here is an image of what my solution explore looks like:
