I know there are lots of questions and posts about this particular error on Stackoverflow, however, anything I seem to try still does not fix the problem.
I have an MVC 5 web application which has two Account Controllers, one in the default Controller folder, the other in an Area, like so
- MyApp.UI.Areas.Admin.Controllers.AccountController
- MyApp.UI.Controllers.AccountController
When I try to hit the Login Action inside PCF360.UI.Controllers.AccountController with this Actionlink
@Html.ActionLink("Log in", "Login", "Account", new { area = "" }, null)
I get the following error
Multiple types were found that match the controller named 'Account'.
The request for 'Account' has found the following matching
controllers: PCF360.UI.Areas.Admin.Controllers.AccountController
PCF360.UI.Controllers.AccountController
Inside Areas --> Admin --> AdminAreaRegistration
I modified the context.MapRoute like so
context.MapRoute(
"Admin_default",
"Admin/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional },
new[] { "MyApp.UI.Areas.Admin.Controllers" }
);
The MapRoute inside App_Start --> RouteConfig looks like this
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
Does anyone see why I am getting this error?
Thanks for your help.
