Question

Instead of just {controller}/{action}/{id} is it possible to have mulitple parameters like
{controller}/{action}/{id}/{another id}?

I’m new to MVC (coming from just plain Web Pages). If not possible, does MVC provide a helper method like the UrlData availble in Web Pages?

Answer 1

You will just need to map the new route in your global.asax, like this:

routes.MapRoute(
    "NewRoute", // Route name
    "{controller}/{action}/{id}/{another_id}", // URL with parameters
    new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional, another_id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);

Then in your controller’s action you can pick up the parameter like this:

public ActionResult MyAction(string id, string another_id)
{
    // ...
}
