Map ASP.NET MVC action parameter name to another name

Question

Can I map an action's parameter to a different name?

I want to use reserved words as parameters for an action, such as:

search?q=someQuery&in=location&for=x

So "in" and "for" can't be used as parameter names of the method. Is there a built in feature for that or should I create a model binder?

Thanks.

You can use the '@' notation to make the name be interpreted literally rather than a reserved word in c#.

public ActionResult Test(string @for)
{
    var something = @for;
}
