Question

My Controller:-ForumController

Action:Topic

ViewPage to pass parameter is

<%= Html.ActionLink("Topic", "Topic", "Forum", new { userid = "1" }, null)%>

Controller

public ActionResult Topic(String userid)
    {
        var topics = new topic { userId = userid };
        return View(topics);

    }

The parameter is getting passed but instead of getting URL Forum/Topic/1,I am getting Forum/Topic?userid=1;
Can anyone help me out

Answer 1

I suspect that you used the default route in Global.asax in which you have {controller}/{action}/{id}.

So you should use the same name (id):

<%= Html.ActionLink("Topic", "Topic", "Forum", new { id = "1" }, null)%>

and then:

public ActionResult Topic(String id)
{
    var topics = new topic { userId = id };
    return View(topics);
}

If you don’t want to use {id} but some other token make sure you adjust your routes accordingly.
