Question

I’m using ASP.NET MVC Preview 4 and would like to know how to use the routing engine for form submissions.

For example, I have a route like this:

routes.MapRoute(             'TestController-TestAction',             'TestController.mvc/TestAction/{paramName}',             new { controller = 'TestController', action = 'TestAction', id = 'TestTopic' }             ); 

And a form declaration that looks like this:

<% using (Html.Form('TestController', 'TestAction', FormMethod.Get))    { %>      <input type='text' name='paramName' />      <input type='submit' /> <% } %> 

which renders to:

<form method='get' action='/TestController.mvc/TestAction'>   <input type='text' name='paramName' />   <input type='submit' /> </form> 

The resulting URL of a form submission is:

localhost/TestController.mvc/TestAction?paramName=value 

Is there any way to have this form submission route to the desired URL of:

localhost/TestController.mvc/TestAction/value 

The only solutions I can think of are to create a separate action that just checks the request parameters, or to use Javascript.

Solution:

public ActionResult TestAction(string paramName) {     if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(Request['paramName']))     {         return RedirectToAction('TestAction', new { paramName = Request['paramName']});     }     /* ... */ }
