Question

what would be the best way to create long static urls in asp.net MVC? For example say I wanted to create the following url.

Ex:

/Packages/Somepackage/package a

Answer 1

Create some standard routes definitions, like these:

routes.MapRoute(
    "Default",
    "{controller}/{action}/{id}"
); 

routes.MapRoute(
    "Default2",
    "{controller}/{action}/{id}/{id2}"
);

Then create a controller names Packages and some actions in it like this:

Define the action like this:

public ActionResult Somepackage(string id) 
{
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(id) && id == "package")
    {
        //do something
    }
}

public ActionResult Somepackage2(string id, string id2) 
{
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(id) && id == "package" 
    && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(id2) && id2 == "package2")
    {
        //do something else
    }
}
