Parameter not being passed to Controller's action in ASP.NET MVC

Question

I have two actions in a controller and yet the parameters are not being passed into one of them.

This one: /RouteStop/List/1

And this one: /RouteStop/Details/100

And my global.asax:

routes.MapRoute( "List", "{controller}/{action}/{id}", new { controller = "RouteStop", action = "List", id = UrlParameter.Optional } );

routes.MapRoute( "Details", "{controller}/{action}/{routeID}", new { controller = "RouteStop", action = "Details", routeID = UrlParameter.Optional } );

And here's the actions from my Controller:

public ActionResult List(string id) { return View(); }

public ActionResult Details(string routeID) { return View(); }

When I access this URL (/RouteStop/Details/100) the parameter gets passed just fine. But when I access the other one (/RouteStop/List/1) the parameter is null. The names match up as they should but I can't figure it out.

Try replacing {controller} with List and Details in respective routes. but for your scenario the default routing that you get when you create an MVC app should work.
