Question

I would like to have a default parameter for the URL so that when the user sends an argument on its own, such as:

http://mysite.com/argument

that argument gets (invisibly) routed first to SomeController/SomeAction/ID=argument and then, if not found to a 404 or 301.

I’m hoping that global.asax RegisterRoutes would have this functionality. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can setup a route to do this, but it will interfere with the “generic” way MVC is set up:

routes.MapRoute(
    name: "ControllerlessRoute",
    url: "{id}",
    defaults: new { controller = "SomeController", action = "SomeAction" }
);
