Url routing and actionmethod relation - asp mvc

Question

If I want to make url like this:

www.site.com/UK/London/Jobs/98767

Routing url is like:

...
"{countryCode}/{city}/Jobs/{jobId}"
...

So here I need 4 parameters to build this url. Should I have all this four parameters in actionmethod whenever I call it?

If you're registering your route like this:

routes.MapRoute(
    "Default",
    "{countryCode}/{city}/Jobs/{jobId}}",
    new { controller = "Home", action = "Jobs"}
);

Your action would need 3 parameters:

public ActionResult Jobs(string countryCode, string city, int jobId)
{
    ...
}

The 3rd parameter "Jobs" is used for matching the route and doesn't make sense to pass in as a parameter.
