Question

With reference to This question, and ScottGu’s Documentation, I have successfullr routed a Url for my sites’ Member profile page.

My page redirects ~/page/MemberName to ~/page/Default.aspx, which users the MemberName to request info.
This has worked fine until now.

I need a way to now allow a user to edit their data, and would like it to be accessed like ~/page/MemberName/Private. The Private tag will tell the page the user can edit their content.

While I would consider doing what @huMpty duMpty suggests and using Roles for this.

You just need to set up your route to contain extra information in the URL.

routes.MapPageRoute("SalesRoute",
    "page/{MemberName}/{ExtraData}",
    "~/Default.aspx");

And then access it just like you would MemberName:

Page.RouteData.Values["ExtraData"];

If you want to make sure that only ‘Private’ is ever passed in you can add constraints to the route via one of the overloads.

routes.MapPageRoute("SalesRoute",
    "page/{MemberName}/{ExtraData}",
    "~/Default.aspx",
    false,
    new RouteValueDictionary(),
    new RouteValueDictionary{
       { "ExtraData", "[P|p]rivate" }
    });

It’s worth noting that you may want to test this pretty well as you might end up with an overly strict routing rule.
