What is ASP.NET Routing?
“ASP.NET routing enables you to use URLs that do not have to map to specific files in a Web site.”

Out of the box MVC Routing
− Routes.IgnoreRoute()− System.Web.Routing.StopRoutingHandler
− Routes.MapRoute()− System.Web.Mvc.RouteCollectionExtensions− Parameters
− string name – “MyUniqueName”− string url – “{controller}/{action}/{id}”− Object defaults - new { controller = "Home", action = "Index”} − Object constraints – new {id = “[0-9]+”}− string[] namespaces - new[] { "Myproject.MyControllers"}

Customizing ASP.NET MVC Routing
− Three main areas for routing customization− RouteConstraints
− Implementing constraints that require more logic than RegEx− Created by implementing System.Web.Routing.IRouteConstraint
− Routes− Allow for control over how route data is parsed or route paths
are determined− Created by subclassing System.Web.Routing.RouteBase− Default is Route ex. RouteCollection.Add(new Route(…))
− RouteHandlers− Allow for preprocessing before default RouteHandler behavior
− ex. RouteData modifications

DEMO – RouteConstraints and Routes
12
Unit Testing Routes
− Use RouteTable.Routes.GetRouteData()− Requires mocked HttpContext (to provide the URL)
− Enumerate over RouteData to ensure the proper information is returned
− Alternative is MVCContrib− string.ShouldMapTo<T>(c => c.Action());

DEMO – Unit Testing with Routes
14
Adding Routing to ASP.NET WebForms
− In the Global.asax, add a reference to System.Web.Routing
− Add routes via RouteTable.Routes.MapPageRoute()− Update links to use routes
− RouteUrl− GetVirtualPath
− Get Routing Data− RouteValue− RouteData.Values[]
