mvc url rewriting....

Question

so write now my Url looks like domain.com\MyAction?var1=x&var2=y&var3=z.

Now, in order to make it more seo and user friendly, I want to abandon that way of writing and adopt this kind of url - doman.com\MyAction\x\y\z (obviously order matters now, which didn't matter in the previous url)

What is the best way to do this?

Currently:

return RedirectToAction("MyAction", new {var1 = x, var2= y, var3= z});

redirects the page to domain.com\x?var1=y&var2=z&var3=t.

What all needs to be done from this point on... ?

Answer 2

Try with something like this:

var route = new System.Web.Routing.RouteValueDictionary();
route.Add("var1", "x");
route.Add("var2", "x");
route.Add("var3", "x");
return RedirectToAction("MyAction", route);

Add a route entry with all those parameters (check your global.asax):

routes.MapRoute(
   "MyAction",
   "MyAction/{x}/{y}/{z}",
   new
   {
       controller = "yourcontrollerhere",
       action = "MyAction"
       //default values if the parameters are optional:
       //,x = UrlParameter.Optional
   });
