ASP.NET MVC - passing parameters to the controller

Question

I have a controller with an action method as follows:

public class InventoryController : Controller
{
    public ActionResult ViewStockNext(int firstItem)

To rephrase Jarret Meyer's answer, you need to change the parameter name to 'id' or add a route like this:

routes.MapRoute(
        "ViewStockNext", // Route name
        "Inventory/ViewStockNext/{firstItem}",  // URL with parameters
        new { controller = "Inventory", action = "ViewStockNext" }  // Parameter defaults
    );

The reason is the default route only looks for actions with no parameter or a parameter called 'id'.

Edit: Heh, nevermind Jarret added a route example after posting.
