Optional parameter in url routing asp.net 4.0 (not in MVC)?

Is it possible to have optional parameter in Url routing while using asp.net 4.0?

I mean i just pass value for one parameter and skip value for another parameter?

Thanks.

I can not give you an answer (I am still searching as well) but maybe a workaround. As far as I understand your question you want to be able to do the following:

a) my-pets.com/dog/brown/long/good-temper

b) my-pets.com/dog///mean-barker

c) my-pets.com/dog/black/

The user would be able to leave out a parameter (in the example b), the color of the dog and the kind of fur (short or long)

My workaround does the following:

string furType = Page.RouteData.Values["furType"] == null ? "-" :     Page.RouteData.Values["furType"].ToString();

This allows the following route

http://my-pets.com/dog/-/-/mean-barker

In my code I use it to filter values from the database

var pet = new Pet();
pet.getPets(pet.filter(petType="dog", petTemper="mean-barker");

routes.MapPageRoute(
       "ProductsBrowse",
        "browse/{BrowseBy}/{Category}",
        "~/Pages/Products/Browse.aspx",
        false,
        new RouteValueDictionary { { "Category", string.Empty } }
    );

asp.net webforms routing: optional parameters
