Using Route Attributes In MVC5

Question

First of all, I read this question and this question I think I have another problem. Because everything is the same.

I have MVC5 project. I have 2 areas. First, my default root class like this.

public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
      routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}"); 
      routes.MapRoute(
      name: "Default",
      url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
    defaults: new { controller = "Welcome", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional});
}

first area route config.

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

At this point, there is no problem. But I want like this:

This App/Controller

public class AccountsController : Controller
{
    // GET: App/Accounts
    [Route("app/accounts/list/{Id}")]
    public ActionResult List()
    {
        return View();
    }
}

Now, I can access like :

localhost/Index/Index OK
localhost/App/Index/Index OK
localhost/app/accounts/list/45646 ERROR

How can I route attribute using Areas? I cannot do it?

`[Route("app/accounts/list/{Id}")]` Change to `[Route("App/accounts/list/{Id}")]` — , Aug 12 '17 at 20:18

You need to receive an integer as a parameter in the List ActionResult in order for 'localhost/app/accounts/list/45646' URL to work.

public class AccountsController : Controller
 {
     // GET: App/Accounts
     [Route("app/accounts/list/{Id}")]
     public ActionResult List(int Id)
     {

          return View();
      }
  }

First you need to enable attribute routing

public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes) {
      routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

      //Enable attribute routing
      routes.MapMvcAttributeRoutes();

      //Area registration should be done after
      //attribute routes to avoid route conflicts
      AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();

      //convention-based routing
      routes.MapRoute(
          name: "Default",
          url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
          defaults: new { controller = "Welcome", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional}
      );
}

And then add the proper attributes to the controller

[RouteArea("AreaName", AreaPrefix = "app/accounts")]
public class AccountsController : Controller {
    [HttpGet]
    [Route("list/{id:int}")] // Matches GET app/accounts/list/45646
    public ActionResult List(int id) {
        return View();
    }
}
