ASp.net MVC route page not found

Question

i have this url http://localhost:17643/category/1/Home/Arts/

It shoud redirect to home/index?idCategory=1

Instead i get a page not found.

the RouteRegistrar is:

  routes.MapRoute(
            "Category",
            "category/{idCategory}/{categories}",
            new { controller = "home", action = "index", idCategory = "" }
        );
        routes.MapRoute(
            "Default",                                              // Route name
            "{controller}/{action}/{id}",                           // URL with parameters
            new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }  // Parameter defaults
        );

Thank you

Try changing adding the wildcard to the categories bit:

  routes.MapRoute( 
            "Category", 
            "category/{idCategory}/{*categories}", 
            new { controller = "home", action = "index", idCategory = "" } 
        );

This will allow everything beyond the categories part to be included in the category.

And in case you don't already know the first rule of Routing is:

The first matching route found will be used all proceeding routes will be ignored so make sure you put your most specific routes first.

I'd strongly suggest looking at this routing debugger by Phil Haack. It's invaluable when trying to work out why your routing isn't operating as expected.

 routes.MapRoute(
            "Category",
            "home/index/{idCategory}",
            new { controller = "home", action = "index", idCategory= "" }
        );

This will redirect you to /home/index?idCategory=1
