Test if a request's URL is in the Route table

Question

I want to test if a URL is part of the routes defined in the Global.asax. This is what I have:

var TheRequest = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsolutePath.ToString();
var TheRoutes = System.Web.Routing.RouteTable.Routes;

foreach (var TheRoute in TheRoutes)
{
    if (TheRequest  == TheRoute.Url) //problem here
    {
        RequestIsInRoutes = true;
    }
}

The problem is that I can’t extract the URL from the route. What do I need to change?

Answer 1

This is what I ended up doing:

string TheRequest = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsolutePath.ToString();

foreach (Route r in System.Web.Routing.RouteTable.Routes)
{
    if (("/" + r.Url) == TheRequest)
    {
        //the request is in the routes
    }
}

It's hacky but it works in 3 lines.
