Asp.Net Routing - Display complete URL

Question

I have a domain \"http://www.abc.com\". I have deployed an ASP.net MVC4 app on this domain. I have also configured a default route in RouteConfig.cs as shown below

Answer 1

One option would be to set your default route to a new controller, maybe called BaseController with an action Root:

public class BaseController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult Root()
    {
        return RedirectToAction("Home","MyApp");
    }
}

and modify your RouteConfig to point to that for root requests:

routes.MapRoute(
    name: "Default",
    url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
    defaults: new { controller = "Base", action = "Root", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);

You'll need to do some kind of url rewriting. Probably the quickest way is to add a RewritePath call to your BeginRequest in Global.asax. In your case it'd be something like this:

void Application_BeginRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string originalPath = HttpContext.Current.Request.Path.ToLower();
    if (originalPath == "/") //Or whatever is equal to the blank path
        Context.RewritePath("/MyApp/Home");
}   

An improvement would be to dynamically pull the url from the route table for the replacement. Or you could use Microsoft URL Rewrite, but that's more complicated IMO.

Answer 3

Just remove the default parameters, it's been answered here:
