copied!<p>I've got this to work thanks to Mystere Man and Nikolay Kostov, thanks guys for your help. I created a custom route which has a dictionary to map between page name and controller, like so;</p> <pre><code>private static readonly IDictionary<string, Type> Map = CreateControllerPageMap(); private static IDictionary<string, Type> CreateControllerPageMap() { var map = new Dictionary<string, Type>(); map.Add("quote1", typeof(EditVehicleController)); map.Add("quote2", typeof(EditProposerController)); map.Add("quote3", typeof(EditAdditionalDriversController)); map.Add("quote4", typeof(EditPolicyController)); return map; } </code></pre> <p>My override for GetRouteData looks like this;</p> <pre><code>public override RouteData GetRouteData(HttpContextBase httpContext) { var routeData = base.GetRouteData(httpContext); SetRouteData(routeData); return routeData; } private static void SetRouteData(RouteData routeData) { var quotePage = routeData.GetRequiredString("quotePage"); var controller = Map[quotePage].Name.Replace("Controller", string.Empty); routeData.Values["controller"] = controller; routeData.Values["action"] = "Edit"; } </code></pre> <p>The final step was just to register the route like this;</p> <pre><code>routes.Add("QuoteJourney", new QuoteJourneyRoute("compare-van-insurance/{quotePage}", new MvcRouteHandler())); </code></pre> <p>That worked fine. However I then found that URLs generated by RedirectToAction were incorrect, because ASP .NET MVC did not know how to map back from controller name and action name to a URL. This was resolved by overriding GetVirtualPath;</p> <pre><code>public override VirtualPathData GetVirtualPath(RequestContext requestContext, RouteValueDictionary values) { var virtualPathData = base.GetVirtualPath(requestContext, values); SetVirtualPath(values, virtualPathData); return virtualPathData; } private static void SetVirtualPath(IDictionary<string, object> values, VirtualPathData virtualPathData) { var controller = values["controller"] + "Controller"; var quotePage = Map.Keys.Single(k => Map[k] == Map.Values.Single(v => v.Name == controller)); virtualPathData.VirtualPath = "compare-van-insurance/" + quotePage; } </code></pre> <p>Sorted!</p>
