MVC to redirect with route values instead of query string

Question

I am working on a sample application where I have a register and detail actions. I want to redirect to the detail view after I registered a new team.

My Regsiter post code looks like this;

[HttpPost]
public async Task<ActionResult> Register(TeamEditorVm teamRegisterVm)
{
    if (ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        var teamDetailVm = await Managers.TeamManager.CreateAsync(teamRegisterVm);
        return RedirectToAction("Details", new { id = teamDetailVm.Id });
    }

    return View(teamRegisterVm);
}

Is there a way to force RedirectToAction("Details", new { id = teamDetailVm.Id }); to use route values for the URL like

hxxps://test.com/team/detail/1

instead of a querystring?

hxxps://test.com/team/detail?id=1

It will generate ../team/details/1 if your using the default routing. Show your current route definitions and the signature of the Details() method — user3559349

Thanks for that idea - I have a catch all route and I added it right before the default route and it is causing it to not recognize that pattern (controller/action/id). I switched it to add the default route first then the "catch all" route and it started working. Thanks! — secretAgentB

RedirectToAction("Details", new { id = teamDetailVm.Id });

This will redirect you to Details action and if your routing contains id as the default parameter, then it will show you

hxxps://test.com/team/detail/1

and not as query parameter. I just tested it in MVC5 and it was working for me. Please check your routing.

Turns out that my routes we're added on the wrong order.
