Cheers Craig - I’ve just done some playing around renaming the application name for the virtual directory. It does get it from there thanks, but also frustratingly ignores the case! Thanks for getting back so quick - appreciate it.

Carlton, the string comes from the IIS configuration. Not sure which part, though, as I’m not really an IIS admin.

Hi - great post, and really helpful in understanding the way this works. I do have one question though please - where does the string for the "SiteRoot". Does it use the application name, or the directory name - the reason I ask is that RouteLink capitalises the first initial and it is driving me mad!

Thanks for this wonderful post, It definitely removes a lot of mystery from routing which is a cause of confusion for most guys new to MVC.

David, I have never tried it. However, it is possible, although there are significant gotchas. The good news is that this will be an officially supported feature in .NET 4.0.

Craig have you had any experience using routing with normal asp.net as opposed to MVC ?

I’m wondering if I could use it to at least tidy up the URL’s on an existing project.
