I want to use a custom route in my global.asax with response.redirecttoroute but it is not working. I have the following in my RouteConfig: routes.MapRoute( name: "Error", url: "Error/{action}/{excep}", defaults: new { action = "Index", excep = UrlParameter.Optional } ); And in my global.asax I do the following: Response.RedirectToRoute("Error", new { action="Index", excep=ex.Message }); In my ErrorController I have: public ActionResult Index(string excep) { ViewBag.Exception = excep; return View(); } And in my Index view for the error I call the ViewBag.Exception to show the exception.

Any suggestions? You can setup a route that matches anything, then split the parameter inside your

I would like to pass an extra parameter to a member route of a resource something like: resources :events do member do get 'register/:participant_type_id' end end I could only accomplish it using a static match statement Looking around the internet I saw that this might be possible in Rails 3.0.2.
