What should I include in my ASP.NET Core 6 MVC application's program.cs? - asp.net-core-mvc

Question

I've migrated an ASP.NET MVC application to .NET 6 and notice that during testing, the arguments to an action method/controller uses query string rather than the usual REST-style URL.
For example, where the existing ASP.NET MVC 4 application would use the following style of URL
http://webserver/controller/action/123
the migrated web application uses
http://webserver/controller/action?id=123
I created the migrated app from scratch using the template for an ASP.NET Core 6 MVC application.
The program.cs is as follows:
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
builder.Services.AddControllersWithViews();
var configuration = new ConfigurationBuilder()
.SetBasePath(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory())
.AddJsonFile("appsettings.json")
.Build();
// doesn't affect the app if it isn't hosted on IIS
builder.WebHost.UseIIS();
builder.WebHost.UseIISIntegration();
builder.Services.AddAuthentication(NegotiateDefaults.AuthenticationScheme).AddNegotiate();
builder.Services.AddAuthorization(options =>
{
// By default, all incoming requests will be authorized according to the default policy.
options.FallbackPolicy = options.DefaultPolicy;
});
builder.Services
.AddControllers()
.AddMvcOptions(opts =>
{
opts.MaxModelBindingCollectionSize = 10000;
});
builder.Services
.AddRazorPages()
.AddRazorRuntimeCompilation();
var app = builder.Build();
// Configure the HTTP request pipeline.
if (!app.Environment.IsDevelopment())
{
app.UseExceptionHandler("/Home/Error");
}
app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseRouting();
app.UseAuthorization();
app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
{
endpoints.MapControllerRoute(name: "default", pattern: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
});
try
{
Log.Information("Application starting up");
app.Run();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Log.Fatal(ex, "Application startup failed");
}
finally
{
Log.CloseAndFlush();
}
}
The Home view renders links to the other controllers using Html helpers such as
#Html.ActionLink("Vendors", "Index", "VendorController", new { #Id = 15153, #Code = "AGR3" }, null)
and the VendorController action method is
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Index(int id, string code)
{
// model is a POCO class
var model = _dataService.GetVendorInfo(id, code);
return View("Index", model);
}
How do I get my migrated ASP.NET Core MVC application to not use query string for passing arguments? Do I need to decorate the action method with some kind of routing attribute? I thought I could rely on convention-based routing as per the route pattern declared in the call to app.UseEndpoint in the Main() method of Program.cs?

In asp.net core,you could regist mutipule route patterns
app.MapControllerRoute(
name: "default",
pattern: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
app.MapControllerRoute(
name: "myfirstroute",
pattern: "{controller}/{action}/{id?}/{Code?}");
app.MapControllerRoute(
name: "mysecondroute",
pattern: "{controller}/{action}/{id?}");
Specific the name of the route parttern with asp-route and add the required routedata as below(if your dictionary contains the key-values pairs whose key was not registed as a section in your route pattern,it would be added to the query part)
#{
var routedatadic = new Dictionary<string,string>();
routedatadic.Add("controller", "Vendor");
routedatadic.Add("action", "Index");
routedatadic.Add("id", "123");
routedatadic.Add("Code", "ABC");
}
<a asp-route="myfirstroute" asp-all-route-data="#routedatadic">Vendor1</a>
<a asp-route="mysecondroute" asp-all-route-data="#routedatadic">Vendor2</a>
