MvcIsRouteMatch

This repository contains a code example to determine whether an URL (Uri object) matches a configured route of a controller action.

The code belongs to a blogpost of mine regarding this question on StackOverflow.

Usage:

Uri referrer = Request.UrlReferrer;
bool match = referrer.IsRouteMatch(httpContext: HttpContext, controllerName: "Catalog", actionName: "Category");

The above code creates an internal http request using the RouteInfo class. The InternalHttpContext class can be used to fetch the route data for the request. We can then match the controller and action values in the RouteData object to the specified values.

I'm assuming you're using this inside a Controller class, so the Request and HttpContext properties are available.

The UriExtensions contains the IsRouteMatch method as well as the GetRouteParameterValue. This is a bonus method which allows you to fetch additional route parameter values.

For example:

Consider this route:

routes.MapRoute(
	"Category",
	"gifts/{categoryName}",
	new { controller = "Catalog", action = "Category" },

You can fetch the value of categoryName this way:

string categoryName = referrer.GetRouteParameterValue(HttpContext, "categoryName");
