clean url with mvc 3, similar to stackoverflow ones

Question

 <a href="/NewsDetail/@News.Title/Id">Foo</a>

When i click on this, it s being encoded and instead of space I m seeing %20 and so forth.

How can i create cleaner URLs ? just like what stackoverflow has?

Is there a utility for this?

I want something like this?

foobar.com/NewsDetail/some-specific-title/1

I guess you mean a slug. See here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/slug+asp.net-mvc — M4N, Dec 09 '12 at 23:33

Read up on MVC routing for the default system.

And checkout this project AttributeRouting, install with nuget AttributeRouting, then you can put [GET("NewsDetail/some-malformed-title/1")] in front of your action and it just works.
