You don't need to add a special route to add a webforms .aspx page to your MVC applications. Just add the file and it will work as long as you don't put it in the Views folder.

You cannot put the webforms .aspx file in the views folder, it won't work if it's there due to settings in web.config. The way to make it work is to simply create a folder on your project root and call it "WebForms" (or anything else you like, I use WebForms) and put the .aspx webforms in there.

I have done this many times and it works just fine.

Just add to the project.

But why do you need this?

I added  routes.MapPageRoute("WebFormProducts", "WebForm1", "~/WebForm1.aspx"); to global.asax.cs.

gives an error

The resource cannot be found.

routes.MapPageRoute("WebFormProducts", "WebForm1", "~/WebForm1.aspx");

Why you need routing in MVC for WebForms? Just go to that page directly.
