MVC Url.Action with 2 parameters

Question

I have the following in my controller where I am passing in 2 parameters:

    url = Url.Action("ViewReq ", "ProgramT ", new   System.Web.Routing.RouteValueDictionary(new { id = spid pgid = pid }), "http", Request.Url.Host);

When I view this, it shows up as:

    http://localhost/Masa/ProgramT/ViewReq/20036?pgid=00001

I like it to show up as:

http://localhost/Masa/ProgramT/ViewReq?id=20036&pgid=00001

How do I modify the UrlAction to show this way?

You could modify your default route registration in Global.asax so that the {id} token is not part of your urls. Remove it or something.

@Darvin Dimitrov - How can I modify the Url.Action in the sample I have above so that it shows it as localhost/Masa/ProgramT/ViewReq?id=20036&pgid=00001 as this will give me the absolute path. Thank you

@NatePet, you can't modify Url.Action. It's a method that's part of the ASP.NET MVC framework. As I said in my answer, modify your routes, as that's what the Url.Action method uses to generate those urls.

I believe the Darin is correct.

To get the URL that you desire, just keep your URL generation code the same

Url.Action("ViewReq ", "ProgramT ", new   System.Web.Routing.RouteValueDictionary(new { id = spid, pgid = pid }), "http", Request.Url.Host);

Then in the Global.asax file you add the following route below the default route.

 routes.MapRoute(
       "YourNewRoute", // Route name
       "ProgramT/ViewReq/{id}/{pgid}", // URL with parameters
       new { controller = "ProgramT", action = "ViewReq",  id = UrlParameter.Optional, pgid = UrlParameter.Optional  } // Parameter defaults
   );

You should then see the URL as (assuming that id is 20036 and pgid is 00001)

http://localhost/Masa/ProgramT/ViewReq/20036?pgid=00001
