c# - ASP.NET MVC - Views location Issue: The view 'Index' or its master was not found -

i've create asp.net mvc 2 project, works fine!!

i've been asked integrate project in existing web project in classic asp.net

(i've add folder containing source, , not make new project, because have bee in same project)

i've configured web.config file

<pages pagebasetype="system.web.ui.page" >       <controls>         <add tagprefix="asp"              namespace="system.web.ui"              assembly="system.web.extensions, version=3.5.0.0, culture=neutral, publickeytoken=31bf3856ad364e35" />         <add tagprefix="asp"              namespace="system.web.ui.webcontrols"              assembly="system.web.extensions, version=3.5.0.0, culture=neutral, publickeytoken=31bf3856ad364e35" />       </controls>       <namespaces>         <add namespace="system.web.mvc" />         <add namespace="system.web.mvc.ajax" />         <add namespace="system.web.mvc.html" />         <add namespace="system.web.routing" />         <add namespace="system.linq" />         <add namespace="system.collections.generic" />         <add namespace="searchapp.helpers.checkboxlist"/>         <add namespace="searchapp.helpers.pager"/>       </namespaces>     </pages>     <httpmodules>       <add name="scriptmodule" type="system.web.handlers.scriptmodule, system.web.extensions, version=3.5.0.0, culture=neutral, publickeytoken=31bf3856ad364e35" />       <add name="urlroutingmodule" type="system.web.routing.urlroutingmodule, system.web.routing, version=3.5.0.0, culture=neutral, publickeytoken=31bf3856ad364e35"  />     </httpmodules>     <!--- end mvc config section--> 

and global.asax file (i'm working under iis 5.1) :

public static void registerroutes(routecollection routes)         {             routes.ignoreroute("{resource}.axd/{*pathinfo}");                         routes.maproute(                 "searchapp", // route name                 "searchapp/{controller}.aspx/{action}/{id}", // url parameters                 new { controller = "search", action = "index", id = "" } // parameter defaults             );         }  protected void application_start(object sender, eventargs e) {             arearegistration.registerallareas();              registerroutes(routetable.routes); } 

the hierarchy of project (i can’t find how insert image in post):

 +project  ++mvc2appfolder  +++controller  ++++searchcontroller.cs  +++views  ++++search  +++++index.aspx  ++global.asax  ++web.config 

as can see global.asax not in mvc app folder

when try access page search/index.aspx using url http://localhost/cstfwsrv/searchapp/search.aspx/index[^] have following error :

i

as can see search index.aspx page under ~/views/search/index.aspx , wich under ~/mvc2appfolder/views/search/index.aspx

is there way set in route method, or else, view path?

thanks’ in advance

you can create own viewengine in right place find view. prepend ~/mvc2appfolder/{0} before view path.

since you're using mvc2, might want see post phil haack mvc2 areas: http://haacked.com/archive/2008/11/04/areas-in-aspnetmvc.aspx
