I searched the internet in high and low condition and checked all previously asked questions with the same heading, and I cannot figure it out.
I return RedirectToAction ("Index", "Home") from the action method in my authentication controller, and then get the following exception:
Server Error in '/' Application. The controller for path '/Home' was not found or does not implement IController. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

The authentication controller is as follows:
public class AuthenticationController : Controller { private ILogService _logService; private IEmailProvider _emailProvider; private IMembershipProvider _membershipProvider; private IAuthenticationProvider _authenicationProvider; public AuthenticationController(ILogService logService, IEmailProvider emailProvider, IMembershipProvider membershipProvider, IAuthenticationProvider authenicationProvider) { _logService = logService; _emailProvider = emailProvider; _membershipProvider = membershipProvider; _authenicationProvider = authenicationProvider; } [AllowAnonymous] [HttpGet] ////[OutputCache(Duration = 3600, VaryByParam = "none")] public ActionResult Index() { return View(); } [AllowAnonymous] [HttpPost] [ValidateHttpAntiForgeryToken] public ActionResult Login(LoginModel model, string returnUrl) { if (Request.IsAuthenticated) { return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home"); } if (ModelState.IsValid) { if (_membershipProvider.ValidateUser(model.Username, model.Password)) { _authenicationProvider.AuthenticateUser(model.Username); ////this.HttpContext.User = new GenericPrincipal(new GenericIdentity(model.Username), null); if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(returnUrl)) { if (Url.IsLocalUrl(returnUrl)) { return Redirect(returnUrl); } else { _logService.Log(new SecurityException(string.Format("Open redirect to {0} detected (Username {1})", returnUrl, model.Username))); return View("Index", model); } } else { return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home"); } } else { ModelState.AddModelError(string.Empty, Resources.Controller.View.Authentication.Index.IncorrectUsernamePassword); } } return View("Index", model); } [AllowAnonymous] [HttpPost] [ValidateHttpAntiForgeryToken] public ActionResult ForgotPassword(LoginModel model) { if (ModelState.IsValidField("Username")) { if (!_membershipProvider.EnablePasswordRetrieval) { throw new Exception(Resources.Controller.View.Authentication.Index.PasswordRetreivalNotAllowed); } IMembershipUser user = _membershipProvider.FindUsersByName(model.Username).FirstOrDefault(); if (user != null) { try { _emailProvider.Send(ConfigurationHelper.GetSmtpSettings().Smtp.From, user.EmailAddress, Resources.Global.PasswordRecoveryEmailSubject, user.GeneratePasswordRetreivalEmail()); ModelState.AddModelSuccess(Resources.Controller.View.Authentication.Index.PasswordSentViaEmail); } catch (Exception ex) { _logService.Log(ex); ModelState.AddModelError(string.Empty, Resources.Controller.View.Authentication.Index.UnableToRetreivePassword); } } else { ModelState.AddModelError(string.Empty, Resources.Controller.View.Authentication.Index.EmailAddressDoesNotExist); } } ViewBag.ShowForgottenPasswordForm = "true"; return View("Index", model); } [HttpGet] public ActionResult Logout() { _authenicationProvider.Logout(); ModelState.AddModelInformation(Resources.Controller.View.Authentication.Index.Logout); return View("Index"); } }
My HomeController is as follows:
public class HomeController : Controller { private IMembershipProvider _membershipProvider; private IAuthenticationProvider _authenticationProvider; public HomeController(IMembershipProvider membershipProvider, IAuthenticationProvider authenticationProvider) { _membershipProvider = membershipProvider; _authenticationProvider = authenticationProvider; } public ActionResult Index() { return View(_membershipProvider.GetCurrentUser()); } }
See below my RouteConfig:
public class RouteConfig { public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes) { routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}"); routes.MapRoute( name: "Default", url: "{controller}/{action}", defaults: new { controller = "Authentication", action = "Index" }); } }
RouteDebugger returns TRUE for routes {controller} / {action} and {* catchall} and confirms AppRelativeCurrentExecutionFilePath as: ~ / Home
I debugged the code, and I can successfully debug and go into the HomeController constructor and index action method. I was also able to enter "~ / Views / Home / Index.cshtml", however it throws an exception in the line of code:
<span class="username">@Model.UserName</span>
Oddly enough, before I enter this code, I can add "@ Model.UserName" to my watch list, and I can see the object and its properties very well, but for some reason it throws an exception when entering or exiting this line of code.
If the debugger goes to HomeController, the Index action method and Index view, then why does all this suddenly throw an exception, cannot it find the HomeController for the path "~ / Home"?

I used the Razor Generator to compile my views, and I also use Ninject.Mvc to solve my controllers. It is also worth mentioning that I cleaned and re-created compiled views, and my project does not contain any registered areas.
Any ideas? this may be simple or obvious, but I'm new to MVC and read / learn when I go.
thanks
