asp.net mvc multiple values to route

Question

Hi guys,

is there a way to send multiple parameters to controller as one parameter?

for example, if I have route:

{controller}/{action}/{languages}

can parameter languages be array of strings? if it does, how to use it...how to send array to controller and how to parse it in controller method?

thanks Marko

It may be worth you looking up Mvc.Net Model Binding. This is used to pass objects (rather than primitives) through to a controller simply by naming the fields you're sending with a common prefix.

Example here:

To create an array of objects, you'd name the fields Person[i].Surname, etc and it will build person objects for you and place it in an array, assuming the Controller action is set up to accept one.
