How to make routing in asp.net mvc domainname/username so each user has his "username" like facebook does

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

You just use the username part as the {id} element, and have a default {action}.

Answer 2

Try This

      routes.MapRoute(
           "users", // Route name
           "{username}", // URL with parameters
           new { controller = "Home", action = "User" } // Parameter defaults
       );

and this will be first MapRoute, and action would be like

    public ActionResult User(string username)
    {
        return View();
    }
