c# - Any way to create a catch all Route

Question

I have many actions on a controller

Controller1Action1
Controller1Action2
Controller1Action3
Controller1Action4
Controller1Action5
Controller1Action6

I would like my URLs to always be just:

Action1
Action2
Action3
Action4
Action5
Action6

Is there an easy way to do this? I won't have any conflicts where:

Controller1Action1
Controller2Action1

Every action will have a unique name.

You should be able to do something like this:

routes.MapRoute(
    "CatchAll",
    "{action}/{*path}",
    new { controller = "MyController", action = "Index" }
);

Essentially you're telling it all requests should treat the path as the Action and they should all go to "MyController". The action = "Index" acts as a default in the event that an Action is not provided in the Url.

The above route definition will evaluate to true even if extra, invalid path data is appended after the action name. What that means is that both /Action1 and /Action1/251958125ad/2512qsadfa2 will go to Action1(). If you would prefer that only the exact path be allowed:

routes.MapRoute(
    "CatchAll",
    "{action}",
    new { controller = "MyController", action = "Index" }
);
