copied!<p>I need to redirect a request to another controller. So basically I have www.MyDomain.com/SomeParameter. I need to read this parameter value from URL and then redirect to another controller for further processing. For this purpose I have two controllers in my project Home and Employee as follows.</p> <pre><code>public class HomeController : Controller { public ActionResult Index(string ID) { if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(ID)) { string EmployeeAccountNumber = GetEmployeeNumberFromID(ID); RedirectToAction("Employee", "Index", EmployeeAccountNumber); } return View(); } private string GetEmployeeNumberFromID(string ID) { return "Alpha"; } } public class EmployeeController : Controller { // // GET: /Employee/ public ActionResult Index(string id) { return View(); } } </code></pre> <p>I then added Routing is defined as follows in Global.asax</p> <pre><code>public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes) { routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}"); routes.MapRoute( "Default", // Route name "{id}", // URL with parameters new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults ); routes.MapRoute( "EmployeeManagement", // Route name "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters new { controller = "Employee", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults ); } </code></pre> <p>As you can see in the Index method of HomeController class, I want to Redirect to my EmployeeController, however, the breakpoint I set in EmployeeController.Index never get hit. Am I doing something wrong here? </p>
