ASP.NET MVC Routing

ASP.NET MVC Routing ASP.NET MVC routing is a pattern matching system that is responsible for mapping incoming browser requests to specified MVC controller actions. When the ASP.NET MVC application launches then the application registers one or more patterns with the framework's route table to tell the routing engine what to do with any requests that matches those patterns. When the routing engine receives a request at runtime, it matches that request's URL against the URL patterns registered with it and gives the response according to a pattern match. Routing pattern is as follows A URL is requested from a browser, the URL is parsed (that is, break into controller and action), the parsed URL is compared to registered route pattern in the framework’s route table, if a route is found, its process and send response to the browser with the required response, otherwise, the HTTP 404 error is send to the browser. Route Properties ASP.NET MVC routes are res...
