I have the below route setup but it is not coming out the way I am expecting. Yes I am still new to MVC.

The way it is coming out is like this. 

http://localhost:29998/Home/States?make=Chrysler

the way I want it to come out is like this 

http://localhost:29998/Home/Chrysler/States

Then of course once you click on your state it would look like this.

http://localhost:29998/Home/Chrysler/Florida

I would realy love to be able to remove "home from that altogether and just leave it as 

http://localhost:29998/Chrysler/States

routes.MapRoute(
                "States", // Route name
                "{controller}/{action}/{make}", // URL with parameters
                new { controller = "Home", action = "States", Make = "" } // Parameter defaults
            );

Ok so if I put a URL like this localhost:29998/Home/States?make=Chrysler and I put a break point on the return I see that string make has the value of Chrysler but if I use this URL the string make takes a null value. localhost:29998/Home/States/Chrysler Im sure there is something small I am over looking that I should be doing I just cant seem to think of what it is – scripter78 May 29 '12 at 3:15
'public ActionResult States(string make) { IEnumerable<DealerHolder> stateNames = new List<DealerHolder>(); stateNames = _repository.GetAllDealers(); var states = from state in stateNames where state.make == make orderby state.address.city ascending select state.ToDomainDealer(); return View(states.ToList<DealerHolder>()); }' 'routes.MapRoute( "States", // Route name "{controller}/{action}/{make}", // URL with parameters new { controller = "Home", action = "States", make = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults );' – scripter78 May 29 '12 at 3:15
How are you generating the link? – Darin Dimitrov May 29 '12 at 6:25
@Html.ActionLink(item.make, "States", new { make = item.make }) – scripter78 May 29 '12 at 14:38

Here is your solution: 

localhost:29998/Chrysler/States

routes.MapRoute(
                "States", // Route name
                "{make}/{states}/", // URL with parameters
                new { controller = "Home", action = "GetStateData", make="", states="" } 
            );

You should place it below the default routing method so it does not take your controller values.

I tried this and it still is not working – scripter78 May 29 '12 at 14:36
it should work place a debug point and check the parameter values. It must be like make = home, state = index. So to avoid this add more routes like "home"/{action}/{id} for ever controller – Imran Rashid May 29 '12 at 16:28

Although this looks like a very promising option eventually once it proves itself and gets out of beta but for now I need to stick with what truly – scripter78 May 29 '12 at 14:33
