Umbraco 8 handles custom routing slightly differently to Umbraco 7. If you are trying to use your own custom MVC controllers in Umbraco 8 then here is how you do it:
1. Create a folder in your web project called CustomRoutes.
2. Add a c# class called RegisterCustomRouteComponent.
3. Copy and paste the following code into your class:
using System;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Web.Routing;
using Umbraco.Core.Composing;
namespace Umbraco8.Components
{
/// <summary>
/// Register Custom Route Composer
/// Register any custom routes here - see https://our.umbraco.com/Documentation/Reference/Routing/custom-routes and https://our.umbraco.com/forum/umbraco-8/96167-registering-custom-routes-in-umbraco-8
/// </summary>
public class RegisterCustomRouteComposer : ComponentComposer<RegisterCustomRouteComponent>
{
}
/// <summary>
/// Register Custom Route Component
/// </summary>
public class RegisterCustomRouteComponent : IComponent
{
public void Initialize()
{
// Register Custom Forms Controller
RouteTable.Routes.MapRoute("Forms", "forms", new { controller = "Forms", action = "Index" });
// Register Custom ML Controller
RouteTable.Routes.MapRoute("AzureML", "azureml-garden-design", new { controller = "AzureML", action = "Index" });
}
/// <summary>
/// Terminate
/// </summary>
public void Terminate()
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
}
}
4. In the Initialize method, substitute my example custom routes for your own, mapping them onto actions on your own custom MVC controllers in Umbraco 8.
Job Done!
