I have the following code to register a route with my custom routehandler:
routes.Add(New Route(path & "/{assembly}/{*resource}", New RouteValueDictionary(), New RouteValueDictionary(New With { _
Key .assembly = AssemblyName _
}), New EmbeddedContentRouteHandler(PluginAssembly, AssemblyName & "." & path)))
This allows me to access embedded resources in a compiled DLL for example: /Content/PluginAssemblyName/File.name
In MVC 3 and 4 the ProcessRequest function fires each time, but from MVC 5 it doesn't, it only fires when I specify a directory, which will obviously give me a null reference exception because I am looking for files, not directories (denominated, obviously, by . as a file should)
I've tried excluding .css and .js to try and see if my custom routehandler will fire, nothing. Testing this in the MVC 4 project, works perfectly.
Starting to tear my hair out.
Any ideas why the RouteHandler won't fire in MVC 5, but does in MVC 4 and 3?
(This is a Pluggable MVC project using MEF that I've brought to MVC 5 piece by piece since the upgrade path didn't pan out too well)
