Possible Duplicate:
How does StackOverflow generate its SEO-friendly URLs?

I made a simple form that contains the NAME and some other fields.
When user submits form, the following route will be called:
~/Profile/NAME

If user entered John Smith as NAME, my URL will be:
~/Profile/John%Smith
And I want it to be:
~/Profile/John-Smith

The application will display user details and again the same form at the top of the page.
NAME value will be passed to the form via ViewData.
I want to populate text box with John Smith, not John-Smith.

How can I do that? I ran out of ideas.
Thanks in advance!

EDIT:

I have found solution here: http://goneale.com/2008/12/19/lowercase-route-urls-in-aspnet-mvc/.
It needs a little modification, but basically this is it.

    If it helps any, I used this from Jeff Atwood as well as the link you garnered above to make it happen.
