MVC URL path extensions

Question

I was just wondering whether its possible to have something like this: I have an Area named Admin and a Controller named 'Edit'. Within this controller I have my Index() which simply lists a bunch of hyperlinks that is treated by the 'Brand' action.

Therefore my url so far is: Admin/Edit/{Brand}.

My question is whether it is possible to have for example: Admin/Edit/{Brand}/Create (as well as edit and delete). This isn't to delete brands, its just to create things within those brands?

I approach that my approach may be misguided and this may necessitate being split into multiple controllers or whatever so don't think that I would like a workaround to make it work this way.

You could define the following route in your area registration:

context.MapRoute(
    "Admin_default",
    "Admin/{controller}/{brand}/{action}",
    new { action = "Index" }
);

And if you wanted to have other controllers than Edit in this area which have the default route, you could register 2 routes but you will have to define a constraint for the {brand} token or the routing engine won't be able to disambiguate between a brand and a controller action name.

Its probably worth putting in the answer that this should go underneath my existing MapRoute for Admin/Edit/{brand}.
