How do I generate friendly URLs within the ASP.NET MVC Framework? For example, we\'ve got a URL that looks like this:

Answer 1

you have a route on the global.asax

  routes.MapRoute(
                    "Default", // Route name
                    "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
                    new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = ""} 
                    // Parameter defaults )

you can define your own route like :

controller is the cs class inside the the controllers folder.

you can define your id - with the name you choose.

the system will pass the value to your actionResult method.
