I want to use MVC, Razor Pages & Web API within the same project. How do I set the default page to go to a MVC view and not a Razor Page? The default page should go to ~/Views/ToDo/Index.cshtml and not ~/Pages/Index.cshtml.

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { services.AddMvc(); } public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env) { // Deleted for brevity ... app.UseEndpoints(endpoints => { endpoints.MapRazorPages(); endpoints.MapControllers(); endpoints.MapControllerRoute( name: "default", pattern: "{controller=ToDo}/{action=Index}/{id?}"); }); }

Reset to default

You can try to change the routing of Index.cshtml in razor page.

Here is a demo:

Pages/index.cshtml(When you want to go to Pages/index.cshtml,route need to be https://localhost:xxxx/Index1):

@page "Index1" @model xxxxxxx.IndexModel @{ ViewData["Title"] = "Index"; } <h1>Index</h1>

/Views/ToDo/Index.cshtml:

@{ ViewData["Title"] = "Index"; } <h1>TodoIndex</h1>

Startup.cs:

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) { services.AddControllersWithViews(); services.AddRazorPages(); } public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env) { // Deleted for brevity ... app.UseEndpoints(endpoints => { endpoints.MapControllerRoute( name: "default", pattern: "{controller=Todo}/{action=Index}/{id?}"); endpoints.MapRazorPages(); }); }

Thanks, Yiyi You! The solution here is to rename the default Razor page @page "Index1". It doesn't matter if endpoints.MapRazorPages() is placed before or after endpoints.MapControllerRoute(...) and services.AddMvc() has the same implementation as services.AddControllersWithViews() & services.AddRazorPages() as documented here github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/blob/…

The most obvious solution would be to delete or rename the actual file at /Pages/Index.cshtml. The only reason that a route "/" is created to it is because it exists. If you remove or rename the file, no route will be generated.

Obviously, I forgot that Index is the default page in Razor Pages, but I'm still puzzled as to why the order of the endpoints (MapRazorPages / MapControllerRoute) doesn't affect the selection of the default page.
