I have tried google and umbraco forums and end up reading countless blogs/posts but I could still not get the steps I need to deploy my custom controller.
I want to develop costom functionality in stnad alone mvc project and deploy it to an umbraco website. What I have tried so far is:
1) Created MVC project and added a controller into it
2) Added routes as OnApplicationStarted in global.asax.cs.
3) Compiled and copied the DLL to umraco website's bin folder
4) Copied Views to hte Views folder
Now when i try go to my controller i.e. http:\\localhost\Test\Index, it gives me 404.
For starters you need to ensure you exclude the route from being handled by umbraco by editing the web.config umbracoReservedUrls and adding your route.
I can't remember if I've ever used a pure mvc controller though... i normally use surface controllers or you have the umbracoapicontroller (webapi) which allows umbraco to handle the routing for them. Give it a whirl with something basic once you have reserved the url.
Deploy custom controllers to Umbraco
Hi,

What have I missed?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
