Question

I’m doing this:

@Url.Action("Details", "MyController", new { id = this.Model.ID })

The URLcomes out like this: /MyController/Details?id=1

How do I get it to format the URL like this: /MyController/Details/1

The routes look like this:

routes.MapRoute("Default", "{Controller}/{Action}", new { Controller = "Home", Action = "Index" });
routes.MapRoute("Default-ID", "{Controller}/{Action}/{ID}");

Answer 1

The order of routes matters – both urls are valid, and in this case the system gets to the query string one first when looking for a url matching that action.

There’s also a possibility you have a case sensitivity issue with {ID} – not sure about that one, but generally it is best to use case consistently.
