So I just updated my app to use ASP.NET Core RC2. I published it using Visual Studio and noticed that my Area is not published: This snapshot is from src\MyProject\bin\Release\PublishOutput : And here is my Area, named Admin in Visual Studio: Am I missing an step or what? You need to configure your publishOptions section of project.json to include the Areas folder which is not included in the default template: ex: "publishOptions": { "include": [ "wwwroot", "Views", "appsettings.json", "web.config", "Areas" ], "exclude": [ "bin" ] } Update If you want to ensure that your controllers and other

I have some common web pages that will be in multiple MVC applications. For those pages I'd like to reuse the same source code (controllers + views) between the different MVC web sites. What is the best way to go about doing this? ASP.NET MVC areas seem like one possibility but they just a sub directory of the website project. Is it possible to reuse an MVC area in multiple MVC applications? You could embed views into assemblies and implement a custom VirtualPathProvider . Look at "portable areas." http://www.lostechies.com/blogs/hex/archive/2009/11/01/asp-net-mvc-portable-areas-via-mvccontrib

How to setup route for a view to be as home page of a domain in ASP.NET MVC application which contains Areas. I need a view of a particular area to be home page. How could this be done? I tried using the following code without any success. public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes) { routes.MapRoute( name: "Home", url: "", defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" }, namespaces: new string[] { "WebApp.Areas.UI.Controllers" } ); } Brij In the Area folder there is a file by name AreaName AreaRegistration deriving from AreaRegistration, it has a function RegisterArea

I would like to have custom error pages unique to an MVC area. Unfortunately, it appears that the Web.config override system doesn't take the MVC folder structure into account. If I want to override an area called "mobile", I have to create a root project folder (in with Views and Controllers) named "mobile" and put the Web.config in there with the new customErrors element. Is there some better way to do this so that I don't have to create a root folder for any overrides? I've been looking for exactly the same thing. One slight change that I do is to use a location element within the main web

I have a large existing application built on ASP.NET MVC2 RC2. All of my links look like this: htp//site/controller/action/id I just added an Area called: BigBird . Now when I'm in the BigBird area, all of my links look like this: htp://site/ BigBird /controller/action/id Problem is that none of those controllers/actions exist in my new Area. So I have to go through all of my actionlinks all over my application and put this routevalue: area = string.empty Is there any way around this? I don't know of away around it if you are using the standard MVC methods (other than maybe overriding them to

This code is inside the master page: <li><a href="<%=Url.Action("Action", "Controller") %>">Main site link</a></li> <li><a href="<%=Url.Action("AreaAction", "AreaController", new {area = "Area"}) %>">Area link</a></li> All the links works good till I'm going to the Area Link . When I go there all the routes of the main area don't work. To fix that I can use this: <li><a href="<%=Url.Action("Action", "Controller", new {area = ""}) %>">Main site link</a></li> My question is, is there a way to avoid , new {area = ""} on every link in the to the main site? Its very annoying to have this on every
