Get ID from URL in an action from a controller with ASP .NET?

Question

I work asp.net MVC, I call an action (let's call it MyAction) from MyController while I'm at the following url www.mywebapp.com/MyController/AnotherAction/123

I need to get the 123 in MyAction, so I started to do something like this :

var url = Request.Url;

In order to parse it then get the ID.

But I'm not sure if it's the "best" way to do it. Do you know how can I get the ID from the current URL when I am in MyAction properly and safely ?

why you don't create a parameter for your Action to get this data — nraina

@Arjuna My action is created by an external library, I'm not sure if I can add another parameter and I don't know how to add it with this library — Alex

You can get this from the RouteData:

var url = Url.RequestContext.RouteData.Values["id"];

you can get the id from URI Like This:

Cotroller:

public ActionResult Index(int id)
    {
//if you want use in view you can save id in view bag
        ViewBag.ID = id;
        Your Code......
        return View(...);
    }

and in view use of view bag

View:

@{  
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
    var ID = ViewBag.ID;
}

Now you have an ID in the variable
