Question

I have a page that displays a post by passing its id through GET or POST.

For example:
http://www.example.com/post/viewpost?id=PostTiTle

But I want achieve this like:
http://www.example.com/post/PostTiTle

So post id should be in URL using single controller. How can I achieve this?

If you didn’t modify any of the settings default MVC routing examples should work.

Example

public ActionResult Index(string id)
{
    // do something with variable id = PostTiTle
}

If your controller name is Post and your action name is ViewPost then you need to add additional route like so.

routes.MapRoute(
    "Post",
    "post/{id}",
    new { controller = "Post", action = "ViewPost", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
