ASP.net MVC routing parameters

I have route which looks like this:

http://localhost:1936/user/someOne/##feed%233dbfc1b3-44b4-42b4-9305-4822ac151527

My routes are configured like this:

   routes.MapRoute("Profile", "user/{userName}/{treningId}",
            new { controller = "Profile", action = "Index", userName = UrlParameter.Optional, treningId = UrlParameter.Optional }
            );

And Action in my controller like this:

public ActionResult Index(string username, string treningId)
    {
      //more code here
    }

But I can't get this part: ##feed%233dbfc1b3-44b4-42b4-9305-4822ac151527, when I debugged code, I saw treningId was null.

My question is how can I get part of URL after ## ?

The way you have your URL written, the browser would not submit any portion of the fragment identifier - the hash part of the URL. As such, your MVC app will never receive the value and thus will always have it as null.

To make that value available to MVC, escape the # to avoid them marking beginning of fragment portion of URL.

This is not possible as hashes are not included in the request; they are reserved for client-side use in URLs (typically to mark a specific location in/portion of a document).

You have two options. Either encode the hash character as %23:

%23%23feed%233dbfc1b3-44b4-42b4-9305-4822ac151527

Or use a different character/route.

You can't.

The browser doesn't send the stuff after the first # to the server at all (you can verify this by using the debugger in your browser to inspect the traffic between your browser and the server). That is because the # (hash) character carries special meaning in HTTP.

Why don't you just

  • use regular query parameters (so, something like http://localhost:1936/user/someOne?myparameter=feed%233dbfc1b3-44b4-42b4-9305-4822ac151527), or, alternatively,
  • choose another delimiter than "##".
