Question

I use asp.net mvc3 and I want to write route that has no end..
I mean something like that:

www.site.com/Cameras/{id}={string}/{id}={string}/{id}={string}/{id}={string}.....

where the id represent a filter id and the string represent a value of that filter..
I have many types of filters and in the future I want to be able to add more without any dependence..
How should this kind of route should look? And how do I start to deal these parameters?

Answer 1

What you need to do is write a catchall route and then interpret it like this:

routes.MapRoute("Cameras", "cameras/{*url}",
      new { controller = "Cameras", action = "Index" }
  );



public ActionResult Index(string url)
{
     var ids = url.split('/');
     // now do what you need with the ids

}

You should use urls like this:

/cameras/id1/id2/id3/id4
