Figure 4-17.
Using the route
/Product/Tents
, the result set is filtered to the Tents category
Figure 4-18.
Using the route
/Product/Cooking Equipment
, the result set is filtered to the Cooking Equipment category
How It Works
In the
Application_Start()
event handler in
Global.asax
, we mapped the route
/Product/{name}
to the
/Product/
Index?name=category
. The route key,
category
, is bound to the actual category string in the URL. In the Product
controller, we used the
name
route key in a MapRoute to filter the result set to filter those products in the given category.
