Passing arguments to Url.Action

Anonymous User 1801 27-Nov-2014

What is the difference between these two ways of passing arguments to an Action?

 

(1) @Url.Action("MyAction", "MyController")?arg1=5&arg2="hello";

(2) @Url.Action("MyAction", "MyController", new {arg1=5, arg2="hello"});

The difference is whether you're taking ASP.Net Routing into account.

Assuming you have a route defined as follows:

routes.MapRoute(
        name:"CallMyAction",
        url:"CallMyAction/{arg1}-{arg2}",
        defaults: new{ controller = "MyController", action = "MyAction" });

Your 1st call would generate the following URL: 

/CallMyAction?arg1=5&arg2=hello

While the 2nd call would generate a URL that is adhering the route pattern you defined: 

/CallMyAction/5-hello
