Has Microsoft changed the way a string is passed as a parameter in ASP.NET MVC 3?

Question

I have this simple question. Previously, when I wanted to call a controller method with only one parameter, I could just call it /ControllerName/Method/Parameterany type of parameter. Now I did the same with the integer value without any problems, but with the string this did not work. Am I going to go crazy or has Microsoft really changed that?

Answer 1

The default route that you find in Global.aspx.cs still looks like this:

routes.MapRoute(
    "Default",                                              // Route name
    "{controller}/{action}/{id}",                           // URL with parameters
    new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "" }  // Parameter defaults
);

, "" - {id} , , , , . , ! : http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/asp-net-mvc-routing-overview-cs
