Hi,

I am currently using asp.net mvc attribute routing on my controller but it returns a question mark in the url, here's my code

[Route("ViewAd/{Desc}", Name = "mv")]        
public ActionResult ViewSingleAd(string Desc){}

The url it returns is for example "http://mysite.com/View/mv?Desc=Renault-Sandero-900T-Dynamique", how do I get rid of the ? in the url?

The "?" specifies that a variable/parameter "Desc" and its value/data is being passed into the ActionMethod via the URL. The ActionMethod's signature specifies that Desc is to be passed into it.

It's how things work.

Is it not suppose to be the below, since you are doing attribute routing? Otherwise, I think you will get a 404 not found as it cannot find the Web ActionMethod based on the URL you have been using. I use ActionName routing myself in WebAPI(s). I have not used routing in MVC.

Unclear.  How are you building the URL?  Have you enabled attribute routing?  Is this an MVC 5 application?  MVC Core?
