ASP.NET MVC Url Route supporting (dot)
asp.net, asp.net-mvc-3, global-asax, iis-7, url-routing
Solution
I was facing the same issue. So the best solution for me is:
<system.webServer>
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"></modules>
<system.webServer>
Problem
I hope that you can help me with the below problem. I am using ASP.NET MVC 3 on IIS7 and would like my application to support username's with dots. Example: http://localhost/john.lee This is how my Global.asax looks like: (http://localhost/{username}) ``` routes.MapRoute( "UserList", "{username}", new { controller = "Home", action = "ListAll" } ); ``` The applications works when I access other pages such as http://localhost/john.lee/details etc. But the main user page doesn't work, I would like the app to work like Facebook where http://www.facebook.com/john.lee is supported. I used below code and it didn't work for me at all: ``` <httpRuntime relaxedUrlToFileSystemMapping="true" /> ``` I was able to use below code and get the app to accept dots but I definitely wouldn't like to use below code for many different reason, please tell me there is a way to overcome this problem. ``` <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="false" /> ```
