  1. POAsp.Net MVC 3 Routing - Generating Outgoing URL using UrlHelper uses request RouteData
    text
    copied!<p>Asp.Net MVC 3, when creating outgoing link for example with UrlHelper will use RouteData from current request. I dont really understand why. </p> <p>Here is my routing </p> <pre><code>routes.MapRoute("car-location", "{car}/{location}/search", new { controller = MVC.Home.Name, action = MVC.Home.ActionNames.Search }, new { car = "[a-zA-Z0-9_]+", location = "[a-zA-Z0-9_]+" }); routes.MapRoute("car-only", "{car}/search-car", new { controller = MVC.Home.Name, action = MVC.Home.ActionNames.Search }, new { car = "[a-zA-Z0-9_]+" }); </code></pre> <p>Ok, now I try to generate links:</p> <pre><code>@Url.RouteUrl(new { controller = MVC.Home.Name, action = MVC.Home.ActionNames.Search, car = "SUV" }) @Url.RouteUrl(new { controller = MVC.Home.Name, action = MVC.Home.ActionNames.Search, location = "NY", car = "SUV" }) </code></pre> <p>The result is correct when current URL is /SUV/search-car </p> <ul> <li>/SUV/search-car </li> <li>/SUV/NY/search</li> </ul> <p>and when current url is /SUV/NY/search they both turn into</p> <ul> <li>/SUV/NY/search</li> <li>/SUV/NY/search</li> </ul> <p>So into the first link {location} is transfered from current request. I dont want my links to be changing :) </p> <p>I tried putting empty location</p> <pre><code>$@Url.RouteUrl(new { controller = MVC.Home.Name, action = MVC.Home.ActionNames.Search, car = "SUV", location = "" }) </code></pre> <p>so it generates this (uses correct route but adds this as parameter)</p> <p>/SUV/search-car?location=NY</p> <p>Howto generate links that point to the same action and have different set of routing data and be independent of current request url. </p>
