MVC: How to manage slahses in URL int the first route parameter

Question

I need to map two variables that could contain slashes, to a controller, in my ASP MVC application. Let\'s see this with an example.

Answer 1

You cannot do this mapping correctly, because of nature of this problem. Try to get a pencil and map following URL to repository and path:

http://mysite/rep/Items/Items/Items/Items/Items/Items/Items/Items/Items

There are multiple mappings:

1) Repository = Items Path = Items/Items/Items/Items/Items/Items/Items

2) Repository = Items/Items Path = Items/Items/Items/Items/Items/Items

and so on....

So either you should

1. Pass parameters as query string
2. Define multiple routes for each of format of repository (and add parts to full repository name in controller method)
