AttributeRouting - area with optional route parameter

Question

is it possible to have area with two routes. for example:

[RouteArea("{culture}/testarea")] <-- specific culture
[RouteArea("testarea")]  <-- default culture
LocalizableAreaBaseController ....

Thank You!

You could accomplish this with a route constraint.

public class TestAreaAreaRegistration : AreaRegistration
{
    public override string AreaName
    {
        get
        {
            return "TestArea";
        }
    }

    public override void RegisterArea(AreaRegistrationContext context)
    {
        context.MapRoute(
            "TestArea_culture",
            "{culture}/TestArea/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
            new { action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
            new { culture = @"^[A-Za-z]{2}(\-[A-Za-z]{2})$"}
        );

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

Or

[RoutePrefix("{culture:regex(^[A-Za-z]{2}(\-[A-Za-z]{2})$)}/TestArea")]
[RoutePrefix("TestArea")]
public class TestController : ApiController {
}

(This particular regex constraint would match something like "en" or "en-gb")

Hi. thx for reply. but how will this work with AttributeRouting ? – shkipper Sep 18 '13 at 10:43
I added an example using the ASP WebApi 2.0 RoutePrefix attribute. – Jeremy Bell Sep 20 '13 at 02:01
but then culture parameter will be after area (testarea/en/...), and i'd like to have if before (/en/testarea/...) – shkipper Sep 20 '13 at 19:23
A controller can't have more than one RoutePrefix: you will get an "Duplicate 'RoutePrefix' attribute" error. See my question: http://stackoverflow.com/q/31053697/533460 – Frank van Eykelen Jul 02 '15 at 10:27

There is another prefix for that in RouteArea attribute please use that. That will works.

[RouteArea("testarea"),AreaPrefix="{culture}/testarea"] <-- specific culture
