Attribute based routing is not working

Hi I have created a small demo application to test Attribute based routing but no luck till now. Need some suggestions.

Route.config class

public class RouteConfig
{
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapMvcAttributeRoutes();
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
}
}

TestingController

1. public class TestingController : Controller
2. {
3. // GET: Testing
5. [Route("demo")]
6. public ActionResult Index()
7. {
8. return View();
9. }
11. public ActionResult products()
12. {
13. return Content("All products");
14. }
15. }

This is a simple demo program only but banging my head to figure out why it is not working.

For your reference I am using visual studio 2015.

http://localhost:1352/Testing/products: This one is working

http://localhost:1352/Testing/demo : This one is not working

Please suggest something.

Hi Prafulla,

In your case you are trying to mix both convention based routing with attribute based routing.

When you use "Attribute" based routing then ControllerName does not get importance.

e.g.

In this example we have decorated the route i.e. Testing/Demo", so regard less of controller name you can call using

http://localhost:1352/Testing/Demo

or you can decorate the controller with

[RoutePrefix("Testing")]
public class TestingController : Controller.

When you set Route Attribute You dont need to use the Controller Name in url.
Try with below url
http://localhost:1352/demo

However if you want to add ControllerName you could use RoutePrefix like below
[RoutePrefix("Testing")]
public class TestingController : Controller
   {
       // GET: Testing

       [Route("demo")]
       public ActionResult Index()
       {
           return View();
       }

       public ActionResult products()
       {
           return Content("All products");
       }
   }
