Asp.net mvc sub-controller

I have to create a site structure like this
/demo/
/demo/admin/create
/demo/admin/edit/id

I can create a DemoController which will contains admin. But how to show create/edit pages? The create/edit pages can be accessible only after user is logged in. Where to put create/edit pages?

Pretty old question, Google landed me here right now.

There is also another way to reach the goal: the Route and RoutePrefix attribute.

Just a small chunk of code for reference.

[RoutePrefix("demo")]
public class DemoController : Controller
{
  [Route("")]
  public ActionResult Index()  { } // default route: /demo

  [Route("admin/create")]
  public ActionResult Create() { } // /demo/admin/create

  [Route("admin/edit/{id}")]
  public ActionResult Edit(int id) { } // /demo/admin/edit/5
}

For this to work, the attribute routing must be enabled. In most case is enough to add:

 routes.MapMvcAttributeRoutes();

in RouteConfig.cs.

Example:

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

        routes.MapMvcAttributeRoutes();

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

i agree an area should do the trick or you can add a custom route that points the the controller if you want to lock down the whole section as an admin only section i think areas would be the way to go on this one

All you need to do is create a route for /demo/admin, then assign that route to a new controller called DemoAdminController. To make this only accessible to logged in users, you use the Windows Forms authentication system. A sample is provided with the default application generated by MVC.

If you are certain that you should implement strictly that URL strusture, then maybe "areas" solution would fit you (though not sure, just had a brief view). But I think, that for a small project you could simply make:

  • separate "admin" controller (that would lead to /demo, /admin/create, /admin/edit/id);
  • or you could possibly use custom ASP.NET Routing;

As for the authorization, you should look into ASP.NET Web Application Security and User authentication and authorisation in ASP.NET MVC

I think you are looking to use Areas. See docs here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee671793.aspx
