ASP.NET MVC routing with one mandatory parameter and one optional parameter?

Question

I\'ve been working on a large MVC application over the past month or so, but this is the first time I\'ve ever needed to define a custom route handler, and I\'m running into

Answer 1

Try this

routes.MapRoute("MyRoute",
                 "myRoute/{param1 }/{param2 }",
                 new { controller = "MyController", action = "MyAction", param2 = UrlParameter.Optional },
                 new { param2 = @"\w+" });

you can specify one parameter as optional by using "UrlParameter.Optional" and specified second one with DataType means if you pass integer value then DataType (@"\d+") and for string i have mention above.

NOTE: Sequence of parameter is very important Optional parameter must pass at last and register your new route Before Default Route In Gloab.asax.

then you action link like

Test

OR with one parameter

  Test

In you Controller

 public ActionResult MyAction(string param2,string param1)
 {
   return View()
 }
