What should be an MVC route for this URL?

Question

I need to define an MVC route for URL like this:

http://localhost/RealSuiteApps/RealHelp/-1/Detail/BRK18482020

where:

Detail - is controller name

• default action Index should be executed
• -1 is some client id
• BRK18482020 is orderId

I need this to go to DetailController, Index action with orderId parameter.

I tried this:

routes.MapRoute(
    name: "Detail",
    url: "Detail/{id}",
    defaults: new { clientid = "-1", controller = "Detail", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);

but I get a message "Page Not Found". What am I missing here ??

Answer 1

Assuming DetailController action

public ActionResult Index(int clientId, string orderId) { ... }

Then route would be mapped as

routes.MapRoute(
    name: "Detail",
    url: "{cientId}/Detail/{orderId}",
    defaults: new { clientid = "-1", controller = "Detail", action = "Index" }
);

Note that this should also be registered before any default routes.
