Question

How can I have an action link with two Ids. (I am using areas). The Id2 gets rendered as a querystring.

Controller

public ActionResult View(int id, int id2)

Route

context.MapRoute(
    "Admin_default",
    "Admin/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
    new { action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);

context.MapRoute(
    "Admin_default2",
    "Admin/{controller}/{action}/{id}/{id2}",
    new { action = "Index"}
);

ActionLink

@Html.ActionLink("Click", "News/View", new { area = "Admin", id = 1, id2 = 2 }, null)

Rendered Link

/Admin/News/View/1?id2=2

Expected Link

/Admin/News/View/1/2

Try adding the more specific route (Admin_default2) first.

So, your mapping code would look like:

context.MapRoute(
    "Admin_default2",
    "Admin/{controller}/{action}/{id}/{id2}",
    new { action = "Index"}
);

context.MapRoute(
    "Admin_default",
    "Admin/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
    new { action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
