In my mvc3 razor project my I have action link
@Html.ActionLink("ActionLinkName","Count","Home",new{id = 3})
This generates localhost/Home/Count/3
but I want it to create localhost/Home/Count?id=3
What changes in route should I make ?

It's the 'id' parameter in your default route that's telling mvc to create the url like that. You could use something other than 'id', or change the route to expect a differently named parameter.markpsmith– markpsmith2014-06-17 13:56:07 +00:00Commented Jun 17, 2014 at 13:56

my client wants that kind of link.vaibhav shah– vaibhav shah2014-06-17 14:16:24 +00:00Commented Jun 17, 2014 at 14:16

well, whatever the client wants... but that seems backwards to me. MVC makes it easy for URLs to be more user and SEO friendly, and query strings just aren't.Nathan A– Nathan A2014-06-17 14:17:53 +00:00Commented Jun 17, 2014 at 14:17

This is because the default route that's used with new MVC projects includes an {id} segment. Removing that segment from your default route will make your existing code produce a query string.
Change this:
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "" } // Parameter defaults
);
To this:
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" } // Parameter defaults
);

Since the default (fallback) route that Asp.Net registers is including an {id} parameter in the url pattern:
// Default
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
Your generated url adheres to this fallback pattern ({controller}/{action}/{id}) and appends your id using /{id}.
You'll need to register a custom route before the default route to exclude the {id}:
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Count",
url: "Home/Count",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Count" }
);
You can also try to remove the {id} from the default pattern (if it won't affect other actions) or change your id parameter in the Count action to a different name.

remove {id} from default config
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new {
controller = "Home",
action = "Index",
id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
}
TO
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}",
defaults: new {
controller = "Home",
action = "Index" }
);
}
