How can my route use optional parameters in the middle of the URL using ASP MVC3?

I think you probably need two separate routes for this.

I would like my URLs to use the convention: /{controller}/{id}/{action} rather than /{controller}/{action}/{id} I tried setting up a route as follows: routes. MapRoute( "Campaign", "{controller}/{action}/{id}", new { controller = "Campaign", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter. Optional } ); But this doesn't work because I am unable to make the id parameter optional.

The following URLs do work: /campaign/1234/dashboard /campaign/1234/edit /campaign/1234/delete But these URLs do not: /campaign/create /campaign/indexempty MVC just calls Index for both. What am I doing wrong? Asp.

I think you probably need two separate routes for this. Routes. MapRoute( "CampaignDetail", "{controller}/{id}/{action}", new { controller = "Campaign", action = "Index" } ); routes.

MapRoute( "Campaign", "{controller}/{action}", new { controller = "Campaign", action = "Index" } ).

That worked! Slight modification to your code--I named the first route "CampaignDetail" so that it wouldn't conflict with the second route. – parleer Nov 29 '11 at 16:59 Oh, I missed that.

I'm glad it helped. – John Allers Nov 29 '11 at 17:40 One more thing--Having {controller}/{id}/{action} interfered with my default route. I was able to fix this by explicitly using the word campaign in my url.

I.e. Campaign/{id}/{action}. – parleer Nov 30 '11 at 3:52.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
