How to do normal asp.net routing (controller hardcoding)

I am trying to create a route for the following urls: www.mysite.com/user/username www.mysite.com/user/username/pictures

I tried to do it with the following code:

routes.MapRoute(
            "UserProfile",
            "user/{sn}/{action}",
            new { controller = "User", action = "Index", sn = "" }
        );

So, if no action is specified, you go to the index action.

However, it doesn't work and I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.

Thanks for any help.

It looks like your code is correct.



The order of the rules is important. Try to place this above all other rules. And if it works with different rules, you must provide some constraints for the best matches.

I agree with maxnk, the code looks correct, this is probably just an order. I would suggest checking out the Route Debugger that Phil Haack wrote: http://haacked.com/archive/2008/03/13/url-routing-debugger.aspx . This is very useful for these complex route ordering problems.
