In today’s episode of ASP.NET from Scratch, we’ll look into URL routing in the MVC framework, and examine how a request can be routed to a controller and action method. You’ll learn how to use constraints to gain better control over your routers, and also discuss best practices in adding routes to the route table.

    Great job. Routes were the thing that confused me the most with MVC, so I’m glad I finally found a tutorial that made it easy to understand. Where did you get the black editor theme for Visual Studio by the way?

      Howdy, Ryan.

      I downloaded it from http://studiostyles.info/. I forget which one I downloaded, but I want to say it was one of the top rated schemes.

    Great job! I really enjoy this series and am very glad that you are taking the MVC path, as I just recently started using it and have lots to learn. Thanks again!

    Yey, i have been refreshing net.tutslpus.com daily jsut to see if there has been a new asp.net MVC tutorial ;)

    Whats next on the agenda? I am looking forward to a more advanced screencast, maybe for setting up an API … (since that is what im working on currently).

    Anywho, great screencast, can’t wait for more :)

    Peace!

      Howdy, Anders.

      What exactly do you mean by “setting up an API”? If you mean an API for a component or something similar, there are a few API guidelines in an article I wrote a while back http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/asp-net/developing-usable-net-components/.

      • http://abergsdesign.se Anders

        Ah, i missed that tutorial. Thanks, Quite nice :)

        Well, with setting up an API i was thinking more about the whole thing, but basic.
        Like how to get, post, delete products. And maybe security.. (since that is in detail, what i’m working on during october) ;)
        If you know any articles about adding auth (perhaps with pub/priv keys) to an API, give me a hint :)

        Peace!

        Ahh. I see what you mean now.

        Yeah, we’ll get there. I plan on going over controllers, views, and models first, though.

    Have started to learn MVC lately and after a few videos and tutorials it is pretty easy to code using the new MVC method.

    Now I am reading a book to get more in-depth knowledge about MVC and .Net 4.

    Hope the next tutorial will come by soon :)

    great post! thanks for sharing! I’m subscribing now to your blog.

    Honestly, this tutorial needs to be re-rendered. It believe it needs to be a little more crisp, so it would be easier to read the code.

    This is great! I come from a more “open-source” background using Linux servers that run Apache, MySQL, and PHP (though my PHP is VERY limited). I recently started a new job working for the military as a civilian contractor and they are 110% Microsoft oriented, (Windows servers, IIS, SQL server and asp.NET). I was a little scared I wouldn’t be able to be effective in my new job, but I found this tutorial series to be absolute gold!
