MVC 2 AreaRegistration Routes Order

by

Aside from what Haacked said, it is very much possible to order area registrations (and thus their routes). All you have to do is register each area manually, in whatever order you want. It’s not as sleek as calling RegisterAllAreas() but it’s definitely doable.

protected void Application_Start() {
    var area1reg = new Area1AreaRegistration();
    var area1context = new AreaRegistrationContext(area1reg.AreaName, RouteTable.Routes);
    area1reg.RegisterArea(area1context);

    var area2reg = new Area2AreaRegistration();
    var area2context = new AreaRegistrationContext(area2reg.AreaName, RouteTable.Routes);
    area2reg.RegisterArea(area2context);

    var area3reg = new Area3AreaRegistration();
    var area3context = new AreaRegistrationContext(area3reg.AreaName, RouteTable.Routes);
    area3reg.RegisterArea(area3context);
}

Another option is to take the code for RegisterAllAreas(), copy it into your own app, and build your own mechanism for determining the order. It is quite a bit of code to copy if you want all the fancy caching logic that the built-in method does, but your app might not even need that.
