Generate semantic URL with asp.net mvc4 ActionLink in Razor views

Question

I have a below setup in the controller for Public facing web page

Company -> About -> Partners ( which i want to be accessed as Company/About/Partners ) Action Method

public about(string category)
{
  ViewBag.Category = category;
  return View();
}

Generation of the link is done as below which is giving me the wrong URL

@Html.ActionLink("Partners & Investors", "About", "Company",new { Category = "Partners" },null)

Wrong Url

Company/About?Category=Partners%20and%20Investors

So the question is how does one generate the correct url that i wanted. What should i do ?

Answer 1

Urls will be generated automatically when you create new route and put it on correct position.

Add

Something like this:

routes.MapRoute(
    "Category",
    "Company/About/{category}",
    new { controller = "Company", action = "About", category = "default" }
);

// default
routes.MapRoute(
    "Default", // Route name
    "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
    new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
