How can I properly handle 404 in ASP.NET MVC?

Question

I am using RC2

Using URL Routing:

routes.MapRoute(
    \"Error\",
     \"{*url}\",
     new { controller = \"Errors\", action = \"N         


        

Answer 1

1) Make abstract Controller class.

public abstract class MyController:Controller
{
    public ActionResult NotFound()
    {
        Response.StatusCode = 404;
        return View("NotFound");
    }

    protected override void HandleUnknownAction(string actionName)
    {
        this.ActionInvoker.InvokeAction(this.ControllerContext, "NotFound");
    }
    protected override void OnAuthorization(AuthorizationContext filterContext) { }
}  

2) Make inheritence from this abstract class in your all controllers

public class HomeController : MyController
{}  

3) And add a view named "NotFound" in you View-Shared folder.
