    text
    copied!<p>I am running into the following error with my ASP.NET MVC 3 project:</p> <blockquote> <p>Multiple types were found that match the controller named 'Home'. This can happen if the route that services this request ('Home/{action}/{id}') does not specify namespaces to search for a controller that matches the request. If this is the case, register this route by calling an overload of the 'MapRoute' method that takes a 'namespaces' parameter.</p> <p>The request for 'Home' has found the following matching controllers: MyCompany.MyProject.WebMvc.Controllers.HomeController MyCompany.MyProject.WebMvc.Areas.Company.Controllers.HomeController</p> </blockquote> <p>I have a HomeController in my default controller folder, with a class name of MyCompany.MyProject.WebMvc.Controllers.HomeController. </p> <p>My RegisterRoutes method, in my global.asax, looks like:</p> <pre><code> public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes) { routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}"); routes.MapRoute( "Default", // Route name "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults ); } </code></pre> <p>I then have an area called Company, with a HomeController in the default controller folder for the area, with a class name of MyCompany.MyProject.WebMvc.Areas.Company.Controllers.HomeController.</p> <p>The RegisterArea method in the CompanyAreaRegistration file looks like:</p> <pre><code> public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context) { context.MapRoute( "Company_default", "Company/{controller}/{action}/{id}", new { area = "Company", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } ); } </code></pre> <p>This is all leading the error I highlighted at the beginning of this post. I am struggling trying to piece together a solution from various other posts, with <strong>NO LUCK</strong>. </p> <p>Is it possible to have a HomeController in the default controllers folder and then one in EACH area? If so, do I need to make (assuming I do) changes to my configuration file to make this work? </p> <p>Any help would be much appreciated!</p>
