I'm trying to add some custom routing logic based on url's stored in a database for mvc. (CMS Like), I think its fairly basic, but I feel like i'm not really getting anywhere. Basically a user may type url's such as: <pre><code>www.somesite.com/categorya/categoryb/categoryf/someitem www.somesite.com/about/someinfo </code></pre> In the database these items are stored, along with the type they are, i.e. a normal page, or a product page. Depending on this I then want to actually hit a different 'action' method, i.e. I would like the above to hit the methods: <pre><code>PageController/Product PageController/Normal </code></pre> These actions then load the content for this page and display the same view (product view, or a normal view). Using the normal way of routing won't work, since I could potentially have things like; <pre><code>cata/producta cata/catb/catc/catd/cate/catf/producta </code></pre> Now i've been looking here : <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/379558/mvc-net-routing#379823">ASP.NET MVC custom routing for search</a> And trying to use this as a basis, but how do I actually 'change' my action method I want to hit within the InvokeActionMethod call? Using MVC 3.0 btw. Thanks for any help/suggestions Final Solution: Global.asax <pre><code>routes.MapRoute( "Default", "{*path}", new { controller = "Page", action = "NotFound", path= "Home" } ).RouteHandler = new ApplicationRouteHandler(); </code></pre> Route Handlers <pre><code>public class ApplicationRouteHandler : IRouteHandler { public IHttpHandler GetHttpHandler(RequestContext requestContext) { return new ApplicationHandler(requestContext); } } public class ApplicationHandler : MvcHandler, IRequiresSessionState { public ApplicationHandler(RequestContext requestContext) : base(requestContext) { } protected override IAsyncResult BeginProcessRequest(HttpContextBase httpContext, AsyncCallback callback, object state) { var url = RequestContext.RouteData.Values["path"].ToString(); var page = SomePageService.GetPageByUrl(url); if (page == null) { RequestContext.RouteData.Values["Action"] = "NotFound"; } else { RequestContext.RouteData.Values["Action"] = page.Action; RequestContext.RouteData.Values["page"] = page; } return base.BeginProcessRequest(httpContext, callback, state); } } </code></pre>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
