Pages . aspx in View folder in ASP.MVC project

Question

Good afternoon, everyone,

I am a beginner in MVC architecture and I have a question about an ASPNET.MVC. I wonder if it is possible in the "View" folder of the project, to put an "aspx" page along with the "cshtml" files".

If I put the file in the root of the web application, it goes up smoothly but when placing it in the View folder it generates error 404.

I looked for some solutions on the web but did not find much.

Thanks in advance,

Thank you!

In the case of a migration I recommend that you create a folder called "Legacy" or as "Pages" even (if you do not want to make this intention explicit" and add the Ignore of this route in your RouteConfig which is located in the directory App_Start. So MVC will ignore this route in its management.

See Example Below

public class RouteConfig
{
    public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
    {
        routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");            

        routes.IgnoreRoute("{diretorio}", new { diretorio = "Paginas" });

        routes.MapRoute(
            name: "Default",
            url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
            defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
        );
}
