Issue
This Content is from Stack Overflow. Question asked by AdamD
when I create an admin folder and then add an empty razor page and do /admin, it tells me the page cannot be found. However I have another User folder and when I do /User it works.
These folders are listed in a Views folder.
I tried duplicating the User folder and renaming it to Admin but it didn’t work.
public IConfiguration Configuration { get; }
// This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to add services to the container.
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddAuthentication(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme)
.AddCookie(options =>
{
options.LoginPath = "/Admin";
});
//services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options => options.UseSqlServer(Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));
services.AddDbContext<ApplicationDbContext>(options=>options.UseSqlServer(Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnectionSqlite")));
services.AddIdentity<IdentityUser, IdentityRole>().AddEntityFrameworkStores<ApplicationDbContext>().AddDefaultTokenProviders();
services.AddTransient<IEmailSender, MailJetEmailSender>();
services.AddControllersWithViews();
}
// This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to configure the HTTP request pipeline.
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
}
else
{
app.UseExceptionHandler("/Home/Error");
// The default HSTS value is 30 days. You may want to change this for production scenarios, see https://aka.ms/aspnetcore-hsts.
app.UseHsts();
}
app.UseHttpsRedirection();
app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseRouting();
app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseAuthorization();
app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
{
endpoints.MapControllerRoute(
name: "default",
pattern: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
});
}
}
}
Solution
If you have a view named Index.cshtml in the path Views\Admin\Index.cshtml then you should create a Controller named AdminController:
public class AdminController : Controller
{
public IActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
}
Notice the method name (Index) is the same as the view name.
If you want to have different method name and view name then you need to specify the view name when you return the view:
public class AdminController : Controller
{
public IActionResult View()
{
return View("Index");
}
}
