IRouteConstraint.Match Method
Determines whether the URL parameter contains a valid value for this constraint.
Namespace: System.Web.Routing
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
bool Match( HttpContextBase httpContext, Route route, string parameterName, RouteValueDictionary values, RouteDirection routeDirection )
Parameters
- httpContext
- Type: System.Web.HttpContextBase
An object that encapsulates information about the HTTP request.
- route
- Type: System.Web.Routing.Route
The object that this constraint belongs to.
- parameterName
- Type: System.String
The name of the parameter that is being checked.
- values
- Type: System.Web.Routing.RouteValueDictionary
An object that contains the parameters for the URL.
- routeDirection
- Type: System.Web.Routing.RouteDirection
An object that indicates whether the constraint check is being performed when an incoming request is being handled or when a URL is being generated.
You use the Match method to add validation logic for the constraint. This method is called by the routing framework when an incoming request is processed and when a URL is constructed. You can determine the current scenario by examining the routeDirection parameter.
When a request is processed, the routing framework determines whether the pattern and values of the incoming request match the pattern and constraints of the route. When a URL is constructed, the routing framework determines whether the values supplied when the GetVirtualPath method is called match the pattern and constraints of the route.
