I figured it out. I was lost and confused for some time. But now I get it. (I think :))

Looking forward to your latest release.

The UnitTests in MVC Contrib and the links to Scott Gutherie’s introduction posts should help get you started.

The reason there is no formal documentation yet on usage was because lots of things with routing were going to change from Preview 1 to Preview 2.

I have also completely rewritten the restful stuff and its currently in an experimental branch on google code. Its incomplete and much less documented than the current SimplyRestful so your mileage may vary for right now.

I will have a post once its complete. It will also include a starter kit to get you going.

So are you saying this is an example of using your RoutingHandler? I only see one instance where you are using your routehandler. So am I supposed to plug in your code in the “The Simply Restful Routes In MS MVC” ? It’s a bit misleading.

I would assume you create a global.ascx that’s using only your route handler if we want to use your code “out of the box” and have it “working” based on only those defined RESTful methods in my controller right?

We need more context on how to hook this up out of the box…a more concrete example where you have a global.asax showing all the routes for basic CRUD operations.

Error 1 ‘System.Web.Routing.Route’ does not contain a constructor that takes ‘0′ arguments C:\Dev\TestMVC2\TestMVC2\Global.asax.cs 34 24 TestMVC2

the code used:

===========
using MvcContrib.SimplyRestful;
….
routes.Add(new Route
{
Url = “[controller]/new”,
Defaults = new { Action = “new” },
RouteHandler = typeof(MvcRouteHandler)
});

SimplyRestfulRouteHandler.BuildRoutes(routes, “/[controller]“, null, null);

Point well taken about IIS6 routes, I will look into a resolution because technically the .mvc isn’t on the controller its the extension of the whole url which really breaks some of the new stuff I have in store.

I will also have a sample app soon.

The biggest undocumented change was the Constraint, formerly Validation, “method” was changed to “httpMethod”.

So Contraint = new { httpMethod = “POST” } is what needed to get done.

Sorry for the delay in the reply.

I’ve been looking around to find some examples of using the SimplyRestful routing that is now included in MvcContrib, and I can’t really find anything. Looking at the tests, I’m guessing that I just have to call:

MvcContrib.SimplyRestful.SimplyRestfulRouteHandler.BuildRoutes(routes);

in my Application_Start and then write the Show, Create, Update, etc. action methods on my controllers. Is this correct?

Also, when I go to deploy this on IIS 6, am I going to have to redo the routes with a “.mvc” after the controller? Would a BuildIIS6Routes method in MvcContrib be appropriate? If so, I’d be happy to write the patch.

Thanks,
