POUsing the greedy route parameter in the middle of a route definition
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm trying to create routes which follow the structure of a tree navigation system, i.e I want to include the entire path in the tree in my route. So if I had a tree which looked like this</p> <ul> <li>Computers <ul> <li>Software <ul> <li>Development</li> <li>Graphics</li> </ul></li> <li>Hardware <ul> <li>CPU</li> <li>Graphics cards</li> </ul></li> </ul></li> </ul> <p>Then I would like to be able to have routes that looks like this</p> <ul> <li>site.com/catalog/computers/software/graphics</li> </ul> <p>This, on it's own is not hard and can be caught by a route which looks like this</p> <ul> <li>catalog/{*categories}</li> </ul> <p>However I want to be able to add the product information at the end of that URL, something like this</p> <ul> <li>site.com/catalog/computers/software/graphics/title=Photoshop</li> </ul> <p>Which would mean I would requite routes that were defined like the following examples</p> <ul> <li>site.com/{*categories}/title={name}</li> <li>site.com/{*categories}</li> </ul> <p>However the first of these routes are invalid since nothing else can appear after a greedy parameter such as {*categories} so I'm a bit stuck. I've been thinking of implementing regex routes or perhaps use IRouteContraint to work my way around this but I can't think of a decent solution that would enable me to also use the <strong>Html.ActionLink(...)</strong> method to generate outbount URLs which filled in both {*categories} and {name}</p> <p>Any advice is greatly apprechiated!</p> <p><em>Some of you may have seen a similar question by me yesterday but that was deleted, by me, since I've since given it more thought and the old question contained incomplete descriptions of my problem</em></p> <p><strong>UPDATE 2008/11/26</strong> I posted the solution at <a href="http://thecodejunkie.blogspot.com/2008/11/supporting-complex-route-patterns-with.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://thecodejunkie.blogspot.com/2008/11/supporting-complex-route-patterns-with.html</a></p>
