Customize ASP.NET MVC RouteValues serialization into GET parameters

Good day!

I pass DateTime value as route parameter and it became GET parameter in form like this:

http://example.com/?DateFrom=01%2F01%2F2011%2000%3A00%3A00&DateTo=01%2F31%2F2011%2000%3A00%3A00

For readability: this is an URL encoded from:

http://example.com/?DateFrom=01/01/2011 00:00:00&DateTo=01/31/2011 00:00:00

Is there any way to customize this serialization without using custom routes?

Thanks in advance!

Instead of passing a DateTime you could pass a formatted string:

<%= Html.ActionLink(
    "link text", 
    "someaction", 
    new { 
        DateFrom = Model.DateFrom.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"),
        DateTo = Model.DateTo.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"),
    }
) %>
