routing

Some MVC sites have querystring params appended to the route Url (of which I noticed StackOverflow does), such as: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/java ?page=9802&sort=newest&pagesize=15 What are the advantages of having the parameters as more conventional ?querystring params, rather than /param/values/ ? Also, how are these params appended to routes that have been set up?

Query string parameters are

I want to have consistency in naming convention of my routes. Default param is :id for any resource. However if one nests another resource in it, param of parent resource changes to :parent_id . My routing looks like: resources :users do resources :projects do resources :issues end end For user model it would generate url like :id , for project url will be :user_id/:id and for issues url will be :user_id/:project_id/:id .

I'm deploying an ASP.NET MVC site to a IIS6 webserver, so I'm using a default.aspx/{controller}/{action} style routing strategy. However, for some reason it doesn't really work when using the default.aspx part. No matter the url, it always gets the default action (Index) on the default controller (Public). I've been using the excellent Routing Debugger to see what's going on. route fail http://img169.yfrog.com/img169/7532/routefail.gif As you can see I'm requesting default.aspx/contact , which should match the 3rd route in the table. Actually ANYTHING I write after default.aspx/ matches the

I've got a problem with regular expressions in Route attribute. I'd like to create RESTful API, where you can specify start date and end date in URL to filter results. What I've done till now is: [HttpGet] [Route("date/{startDate:datetime:regex(\\d{4}-\\d{2}-\\d{2})}/{*endDate:datetime:regex(\\d{4}-\\d{2}-\\d{2})}")] [Route("date/{startDate:datetime:regex(\\d{4}/\\d{2}/\\d{2})}/{*endDate:datetime:regex(\\d{4}/\\d{2}/\\d{2})}")] public IEnumerable<Recommendation> GetRecommendationByDate(DateTime startDate, DateTime? endDate) { var output = db.Recommendations .Where(r => r.IsPublished == true &&
