Possible to name action parameter something other than “id” without needing new routes?
With the usual default MVC route, you get to specify a parameter called "id". The problem is that I would often prefer to name this something more specific, but to do so I would have to create a new route. So then for every action with a differently named parameter (customerId, courseId, eventId, userId, etc.) I would have to create a new route.
What I really want is a route that accepts a value and places it in whatever the first parameter of the route is regardless the name. Is that possible?
