There seems to be a thousand people asking the same question on stack overflow, but there doesn't seem to be a single solution to this problem. I am going to ask it again...

Quick question regarding routes within MVC and WebAPI. I have added a route to route config.cs: routes.MapRoute( name: "ConfirmEmail", url: "ConfirmEmail/{userid}", defaults: new { controller = "Email", action = "ConfirmEmail" } ); This is registered in the global.asax as per normal: RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes); I am trying to generate a URL for use within an email which is sent as part of a function call within a WebAPI controller function.

I am using Url.Action to generate a URL with two query parameters on a site that has a doctype of XHTML strict. Url.Action("ActionName", "ControllerName", new { paramA="1" paramB="2" }) generates: /ControllerName/ActionName/?paramA=1&paramB=2 but I need it to generate the url with the ampersand escaped: /ControllerName/ActionName/?paramA=1&paramB=2 The fact that Url.Action is returning the URL with the ampersand not escaped breaks my HTML validation.

Does the approach of route matching for child actions differ from usual actions? In other words, do child actions have some autogenerated url to make matching similar to what is done for parent actions?

Avoid route processing by converting to Html.RenderPartial() If you can
