Rewriting url in asp.net-mvc4 (razor) with extention

Question

Default of asp.net-mvc4 is http://domainname.com/products/1 with routes

routes.MapRoute(
    name: "Products",
    url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
    defaults: new { controller = "Products", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);

and I want to rewrite to http://domainname.com/products/1.html that has .html extention . Any ideas for this?

Why would you want to do this? You're not working with files here. — John H, Dec 24 '13 at 02:59

Do you mean this:

routes.MapRoute(
    name: "Products",
    url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}.html",
    defaults: new { controller = "Products", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);

I don't know, may be. But if ID parameter is null, the url will `code:http://domainname.com/product/.html', not right – TienKenji Dec 24 '13 at 09:51

True, I think you should make a separate route to handle that situation. – Marthijn Dec 24 '13 at 10:03

Why would you want to put .html extension to a query string or route parameter?

if you take a website with html files, the extension is with the page not with the parameters. Don't know if you have any specific requirement to put it always at the end of the url. but it doesn't make any sense.

routes.MapRoute(
name: "Products",
url: "{controller}/{action}.html/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Products", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);

you might have problems with iis after doing the above, please take a look at this discussion as well. ASP.NET MVC Routing - add .html extension to routes
