Attribute Routing with Multiple Leading Zero Decimals

Question

Current ActionResult:

[Route(\"EvaluatorSetup/{evalYear}/{department}\")]
public ActionResult RoutedEvaluatorSetup(int evalYear, string department)
{
    ret         


        

Answer 1

Try

[Route("EvaluatorSetup/{evalYear}/{department:string}")]

I believe the default is int.

Answer 2

The issue is the . in the URL.

By default, if a . is present the StaticFileHandler handles the request and looks for a filename matching the path on the file system. To override this behavior, you can assign a handler to a URL you are trying to use. For example, adding the following to your web.config:

<system.webServer>
<handlers>
  <add name="UrlRoutingHandler" path="/EvaluatorSetup/*" verb="GET" type="System.Web.Routing.UrlRoutingHandler" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer>

will force any request starting with /EvaluatorSetup/ to use the UrlRoutingHandler (the handler associated with MVC routes).

** Solution Supplement **

I found that this solution worked when I ALSO added the following to the httpRuntime element in web.config:

<system.web> 
    <httpRuntime relaxedUrlToFileSystemMapping="true" />
</system.web>
