Global.asax does not map to Controller Action except for default in ASP.Net MVC2 on IIS5.1

Question

I am a complete newbie,

I have the default to be HomeController->Index When I hit, http: / /localhost /SampleApplication

It goes to the index but I have another action "Process" in HomeController.If I hit http://localhost/SampleApplication/Home/Process returns resource not found.

I am unable to get this in Visual Studio execute/Dev environment or by deploying in IIS.

My Global.asax is,

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

            routes.MapRoute(
                "Default", // Route name
                "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
                new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
            );
        }

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

            RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
        }

I could not get this going correctly in VS2010 itself.When I execute it launches a development server at port 1048.So I believe its more to do with my understanding or code in global.asax.

You've tagged this with IIS5 yet IIS5 doesn't support your nice MVC URLs out of the box. You will need to use a wildcard extension or you will need to change your urls to contain an extension that you can map to ASP.NET. See
