MVC 2 routing question

Question

I'm trying to create a route that looks like this

site.com/controller/{Param1}/{dbID}-{friendly-name}

and omit the default action index , and for the action edit to be at the end of the url like so

site.com/controller/{Param1}/{dbID}-{friendly-name}/edit

routes are a bit confusing for me , so any help is appreciated , Thanks!

Answer 1

You could try like this:

routes.MapRoute(
 "SomeRoute",
 "{controller}/{param1}/{dbID}-{friendlyName}/{action}",
 new 
 { 
 controller = "home", 
 action = "index",
 param1 = "CANNOT BE OPTIONAL",
 dbID = "SOME DEFAULT ID",
 friendlyName = "SOME DEFAULT FRIENDLY NAME"
 }
);

• Nikola Sivkov: hm , if i request the page without the index action at the end , it doesn't load :(
• Nikola Sivkov: its also important to put the default route at the bottom and the more specific routes at the top :)
