I got a pretty basic ASP.NET MVC (1) routing qeustion but I couldn't find an answer by now.

I want to call an action method which has three parameters but I'm running into an 404 when I call it with more than one parameter.

Route looks like this (I removed all other routes but the default one):

routes.MapRoute(
   "Test",
   "{id}/{page}/{lineend}",
   new { controller = "Basic", action = "Test" },
   new { id = @"\d+", page = @"\d+" }
);

The method looks like this:

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get)]
public ActionResult Test(int? id, int? page, string lineend)
{
    // some code here
    return new ViewResult();
}

This is what happens:

http://localhost:55462/Basic/Test/

works

http://localhost:55462/Basic/Test/1

works

http://localhost:55462/Basic/Test/1/2

gives a 404

http://localhost:55462/Basic/Test/1/2/3

gives a 404

Removing the constraints or changing the method signature to (int, int, string) has the same effect. In the first and second case the application complains about a null parameter, the other cases lead to a 404.

I know this issue has to be pretty basic but I just don't get it.

Thanks for your help!

It will be something like this:

routes.MapRoute(
   "Test",
   "{id}/{page}/{*lineend}",
   new { controller = "Basic", action = "Test" },
   new { id = @"\d+", page = @"\d+" }
);

It is catch-all parameter. In action you have to split string using '/'

I foud it out myself. (And I hope it is correct that I add it as a separate answer.)

As expected the answer is quite simple. With the routing configuration above you need to leave out the controller name in the URL so this works:

http://localhost:55462/Test/1/2/3
