Is there a way to create a route like this "http://mysite/Username" ?
2 Answers
Yes. Create a route that matches a user using a routing constraint:
routes.MapRoute(
"User", // Route name
"{user}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "User", action = "Index", user = "" }, // Parameter defaults
new { isUser = new MustBeUserConstraint() }
);
public class MustBeUserConstraint : IRouteConstraint
{
public bool Match
(
HttpContextBase httpContext,
Route route,
string parameterName,
RouteValueDictionary values,
RouteDirection routeDirection
)
{
...ensure that there is a user route value and validate that it is a user...
}
}

routes.MapRoute(
"RouteName",
"{username}",
new { controller = "SomeController", action = "SomeAction", username = "" }
);
public class SomeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult SomeAction(string username)
{ ... }
}
Usernamecoming from? Forms authentication?
