Question

I’m looking for some information on Routing in MVC with C#. I’m currently very aware of the basics of routing in MVC, but what i’m looking for is somewhat difficult to find.

Effectively, what I want to find is a way of defining a single route that takes a single parameter.

The common examples I have found online is all based around the example

routes.MapRoute(     'Default',     '{controller}.mvc/{action}/{id}'     new { controller = 'Default', action='Index', id=''}); 

By mapping this route, you can map to any action in any controller, but if you want to pass anything into the action, the method parameter must be called ‘id’. I want to find a way around this if it’s possible, so that I don’t have to constantly specify routes just to use a different parameter name in my actions.

Has anyone any ideas, or found a way around this?

You can construct the routes as you like

routes.MapRoute(     'Default',     '{controller}.mvc/{action}/{param1}/{param2}/{param3}'     new { controller = 'Default', action='Index', param1='', param2='', param3=''}); 

Also, look at this post, it contains all kind of samples in the comments section
