ActionLink in Asp.Net Mvc 2 does not reidrect

Question

I have the following default and only route:

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

In my Site.Master I have the following:

<%= Html.ActionLink("Profile", "Details", "Users")%>

If I am on the following Url:
http://localhost:1155/Users/Details/1 and I click the link above it goes the same page.
Should it not go to the following url?
http://localhost:1155/Users/Details

For some reason it is keeping the id in the Url.

Answer 1

For some reason it is keeping the id in the Url.

It is by design.

Try this to get rid of id:

<%= Html.ActionLink("Profile", "Details", "Users", new { id = "" }, null)%>
