Question

I have these two routes:

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

        routes.MapRoute(
            "Default2", // Route name
            "{controller}/{action}/{OrderId}/{CustomerID}", // URL with parameters
            new { controller = "NorthwindOrders", action = "Index", OrderId = UrlParameter.Optional, CustomerID = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
        );

and want to create link that uses the second route.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

If you want to specifically use a route, you can use the Html helper Html.RouteLink :

<%= Html.RouteLink("my link", "Default2", new {OrderId=1, CustomerId=2}) %>

Also, you can put the second route first : the most generic route should be at the end, in order to be used only when no specific route was found.
