How to display only name in url instead of id in mvc.net using routing

I am getting url like http://localhost:49671/TestRoutes/Display?f=hi&i=2

I want it like http://localhost:49671/TestRoutes/Display/hi

I call it from Index method. 

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(int? e )
{
    //  return View("Display", new { f = "hi", i = 2 });
    return RedirectToAction("Display", new { f = "hi", i = 2 });
}

Index view 

@model Try.Models.TestRoutes
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
    Model.e = 5 ; 
    <input type="submit" value="Create" class="btn btn-default" />
}

Display Action method 

// [Route("TestRoutes/{s}")]
public ActionResult Display(string s, int i)
{
    return View(); 
}

Route config file 

public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
    routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
    routes.MapRoute(
        "Professional", // Route name
        "{controller}/{action}/{id}/{name}", // URL with parameters
         new { controller = "TestRoutes", action = "Display", s = UrlParameter.Optional, i = UrlParameter.Optional
    });
    routes.MapRoute(
        name: "Default",
        url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
        defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id =   UrlParameter.Optional
    });

Another way to solve this problem is to put the proper route before the default route, as follows: 

routes.MapRoute(name: "MyRouteName", url: "Id", defaults: new { controller= "Home", action = "Index",id= Id });

Default route:

routes.MapRoute(
   name: "Default",
   url: "{controller}/{action}/{Id}",
   defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index",id= Id }
);

You need to change your route definition to

routes.MapRoute(
    name: "Professional",
    url: "TestRoutes/Display/{s}/{i}",
    default: new { controller = "TestRoutes", action = "Display", i = UrlParameter.Optional }
);

so that the names of the placeholders match the names of the parameters in your method. Note also that only the last parameter can be marked as UrlParameter.Optional (otherwise the RoutingEngine cannot match up the segments and the values will be added as query string parameters, not route values)

Then you need to change the controller method to match the route/method parameters

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(int? e )
{
    return RedirectToAction("Display", new { s = "hi", i = 2 }); // s not f
}

You can also try using Attribute Routing. You can control your routes easier with attribute routing.

Firstly change your RouteConfig.cs like that:

public class RouteConfig
{
    public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
    {
        routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
        routes.MapMvcAttributeRoutes();
        //routes.MapRoute(
        //    name: "Default",
        //    url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
        //    defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
        //);
    }
}

After that change your controller files like that:

namespace YourProjectName.Controllers
{
    [RoutePrefix("Home")]
    [Route("{action}/{id=0}")]
    public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        [Route("Index")]
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            return View();
        }

        [Route("ChangeAddress/{addressID}")]
        public ActionResult ChangeAddress(int addressID)
        {
            //your codes to change address
        }
}

Remove the maproute code: routes.MapRoute( "Professional", // Route name "{controller}/{action}/{id}/{name}", // URL with parameters new { controller = "TestRoutes", action = "Display", s = UrlParameter.Optional, i = UrlParameter.Optional }); Use attribute routing code: [Route("TestRoutes/{s}/{i?}")] public ActionResult Display(string s, int? i) { return View(); }

change your route as routes.MapRoute( "Professional", // Route name "{controller}/{action}/{name}", // URL with parameters new { controller = "TestRoutes", action = "Display" } // Parameter defaults );

and your action as 

public ActionResult Display(string name)
{
     //action goes here
}
