Greetings,

I've been pulling my hair out trying to find examples of getting a custom MVC 5 route to work with Umbraco 7.5.2. All documentation I see references using Umbraco data, but I need to get a custom Orders admin with CRUD to play in the same Umbraco site, while completely ignoring Umbraco altogether.

I get an Umbraco 404 when loading anything within /Views/Orders/. I have added this folder to umbracoReservedPaths in Web.config.

Controller:

public class OrdersController : Controller
{
    private OrdersContext db = new OrdersContext();

    // GET: Orders
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View(db.OrdersDb.ToList());
    }
}

RouteConfig:

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

  routes.MapRoute(
    "Orders",
    "orders/{action}/{id}",
    defaults: new { controller = "Orders", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
  );    
}

Global.asax.cs:

protected void Application_Started()
{
  AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();

  WebApiConfig.Register(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration);
  FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
  RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
}

The class type for Application_Started() is UmbracoApplication... not sure if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance for any help!
