How to insert Route to the top of RouteCollection

Question

I am need to insert a route during the mvc application processing. I am in stuck because i can use MapPageRoute only to add new route to the end of routings table, and i can use Insert to add route to the start of collection, but in this case i can't define this routing name, so i can't manage it in future.

So the question: is any opportunity to add route with defined name to the start of routes table exists?

Does anyone know?

p.s. map to the end and use Reverse is bad idea.

Can you give an example as to why you won't know the routes ahead of time? — amurra, Jun 06 '11 at 16:53

You can use a combination of Map and insert. Mapping a route returns a Route object. You can map a route, immediately remove it and then Insert it like so:

Route r = routes.MapRoute(
                                "SomeName", // Route name
                                "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
                                new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
                            );
routes.Remove(r);
routes.Insert(0, r);

This gets you a named route at the top of your Route Table.

walk to try it... ...it is'nt works, name isn't a property of a route, it is the key, that removes with the removed route. — Daniil Grudzinskiy, Jun 06 '11 at 15:25
