problem in routing in asp.net mvc

Question

i have

 routes.MapRoute("BuildingCompanyProject", "BuildingCompany/{projectId}/BuildingProject", new { controller = "BuildingProject", action = "Index", projectId = "" });

in Global.asax.cs
and is placed below the default route.
and the above route is called on clicking a link

<a title="Go toCompany" style="background: none!important" href='<%= Url.RouteUrl("BuildingCompanyProject",new {controller="BuildingProject" , action="Index" , projectId=item.Id})%>'>
                beheer bedrijf</a>   

But on clicking the url is mapped to default route. How should i achieve this.

Answer 1

You should put custom routes above the default route, when the default route could resolve your custom route (like it is in your case).

---

In light of your comment, you say you have another URL "/BuildingProject" that should be resolved by the default route.

You should have then 3 routes: first the one to resolve "/BuildingProject", then your custom one that you talked about in the question, and only in the end the default route.

Answer 2

Move your custom route above the default route. Remember that your url will match the default route first
