parameters in url in asp.net mvc

Question

I know this can be done, but don't even know what its called to find a good tutorial from Google. I am using ASP.Net MVC4 and I have a controller called ePage, right now I can access what I want from a URL like this

  http://www.myUrl.com/ePage/{ACTION}/{PARAMETER as "id"}

how can I change the routing so that (just for this controller if possible) it is read like this

  http://www.myUrl.com/ePage/{PARAMETER}

I will always be using "Index" as Action for now.

If there is a simple answer to do that'd be awesome , if not just a point to the right direction for me to read and figure out.

If you are using index then the action is not required. Unless you set something else as the default action in your routes — Garvin

@Garvin - I don't understand, say I put myUrl.com/ePage/my-paramater , then isn't it going to look for the action "my-parameter" in the controller "ePage" ??? or will it just know to go to myUrl.com/ePage/Index?id=my-parameter — Scott Selby

In your Global.asax.cs under the RegisterRoutes method, you can try adding:

routes.MapRoute("MyNewRoute", "ePage/{param}", new { 
    controller = "ePage",
    action = "Index",
});

Your Index method must have an argument named param so that the routing will match.
