Custom routes for controller with Html.ActionLink and Url.Action

Question

Is it possible to create a exception in de Url.Action function for a certain controller?

We have a controller for Html pages in a database that can be accesses with a certain ID. For example /Page/1 .

But instead of '/Page/1' we want to have '/seo-frienly-url' without the controller name or ID.

I know it is possible to add Custom routes in MVC, but with a lot of routes it gets slow when resolving them, so i want to make an exception for a certain controller.

The routing already works because we have changed the default route to '/{seo-page-title}' and linked it to a controller / action to get the html by page title instead of ID.

Answer 1

You can pass a route name to UrlHelper.RouteUrl . That way you can pick which route the URL must be built from.
