MVC Default Area Not working

Question

I have a web site that had no areas registered. Then I registered an area called "MyNewArea".

Now my default website links like blogs etc no longer work.

So I now have an areas folder with a single area in it and the default folders when I created the project in the first place.

In my area AreaRegistration class I have;

public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context)
{
    context.MapRoute(
        "MyArea_default",
        "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
        new { action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
    );
}

but this looks like it conflicts with the default one of

routes.MapRoute(
    "Default", // Route name
    "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
    new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);

What do I need to do to get the area to work with the default site and controllers?

Answer 1

Change the new area route table to be:

context.MapRoute(
    "MyArea_default",
    "MyNewArea/{action}/{id}",
    new { controller = "MyNewArea", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
