Routing with DataTime in Edit and Details link

Question

User1175744744 posted
Hi, I'm using the DDFutures July edition, and I've a problem with DateTime values in the gridview, for example: http://localhost:54099/Currency_Rates/Details/EUR/11/06/2008%2000:00:00 of course it will generate a 404 error. How can I rewrite my Routes to have a Url with escaped datetime sequence, or keys as a parameter? http://localhost:54099/Currency_Rates/Details/EUR/11%2x06%2x%2008%2000:00:00 or http://localhost:54099/Currency_Rates/Details/?key1=EUR&key2=11%2x06%2x%2008%2000:00:00 thanks! ...or is there any newer version i can upgrade to?:)

Here's the latest stuff ASP.NET Dynamic Data 4.0 Preview 2 Samples there is a DD Futures but it's not changed since july but there may be stuff in there that's of interest. as to the date you may need to write your own route handler to encode the dates [:D]

thanks for your answer! I'm looking at the new version now, and i found the way to switch back to the /{action}.asp?key={value} version. Anyway on IIS6, it's just working this way, if one uses virtual url mappings, it just gives 404's. http://66.129.67.4/p/1198963/2081331.aspx was no use for me too. :)
