Not only do you have to have the call to routes.MapMvcAttributeRoutes()
in your App_Start\RouteConfig.cs
file, it must appear before defining your default route! I add it before that and after ignoring {resource}.axd{*pathInfo}
. Just found that out trying to get attribute routing to work correctly with my MVC 5 website.
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapMvcAttributeRoutes();
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Account", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
}
