How to call a classic ASP.NET Page from a MVC Action??

Question

I am using StructureMap with ASP.NET MVC. I have a requirement where I need to show a ReportViewer and for that I am using a classic ASP.NET page. The problem is when I am trying to redirect from the action I am getting following issue:

The IControllerFactory 'StructureMapControllerFactory' did not return a controller for the name 'Reports.aspx'.

Can someone please guide me on how do I call a classic asp.net page from an action and get rid of this error?

Answer 1

You need to map a route for your classic page so that the MVC engine skips it.

Answer 2

If you are looking to redirect the request to a 'classic' ASP.NET web form from the controller action, you might call HttpContext.Response.Redirect("URL"). The routing engine by default will resolve files that exist on the disk. No need to map new routes.
