When attempting to create a catch all route in MVC 4 (something I've found several examples of, and based my code on) it returns a 404 error. I'm running this on IIS 7.5. This seems like a straight forward solution, so what am I missing?
One note, if I move the "CatchAll" route above the "Default" route it works. But of course then none of the other controllers are ever reached.
Here is the code:
Route.Config:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
routes.MapRoute(
"CatchAll",
"{*dynamicRoute}",
new { controller = "CatchAll", action = "ChoosePage" }
);
Controller:
public class CatchAllController : Controller
{
public ActionResult ChoosePage(string dynamicRoute)
{
ViewBag.Path = dynamicRoute;
return View();
}
}
