Optional parameters in MVC3 routing - asp.net-mvc-3

Question

I am trying to create routes which can apply 1 and 2 type of URLs.
1 - First route will be at the start of application and I want 2 type of URLs that can used to access index page. I cannot hit below route when I have URL with Home at the end instead going to type 2.
http://www.example.com Or http://www.example.com/Home
routes.MapRoute(
"Default",
"{controller}/{action}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", name = "" }
);
2 - This type of URL is passing "Name" parameter to load contents from DB. I want this URL like
http://www.example.com/Page?name=Contact Or
http://www.example.com/Page?name=Contact&id=22
But I want above URL like
http://www.example.com/Contact Or http://www.example.com/About
Or
http://www.example.com/Contact/22 Or http://www.example.com/About/33
Where
Contact and About are values for "Name" parameter passed in URL. Below is the Route used
routes.MapRoute(
"DynamicPages",
"{name}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Page" }
);

Answer 1

Here is a possible solution. I am not sure if this is the right way to do this.
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
//To match http://www.mysite.com
routes.MapRoute(
"RootUrl",
"",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index",
id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
//To match http://www.mysite.com/Home
routes.MapRoute(
"RootUrlWithAction",
"Home/{action}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" }
);
//To match http://www.mysite.com/Contact Or
// http://www.mysite.com/About Or
// http://www.mysite.com/Contact/22 Or
// http://www.mysite.com/About/33
routes.MapRoute(
"DynamicPages",
"{name}/{id}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Page",
id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
// Everything else
routes.MapRoute(
"Default",
"{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index",
id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
);
}
Tested the following routes. Here the site root url is http://localhost:5879/. Refer the output screenshots provided below for each of the below mentioned scenario.
http://localhost:5879/ --> Uses first route map
http://localhost:5879/Home --> Uses second route map
http://localhost:5879/Contact --> Uses third route map
http://localhost:5879/About/33 --> Uses third route map
http://localhost:5879/Home/Page?name=Contact&id=22 --> Uses third route map
http://localhost:5879/Home/Index/2 --> Uses fourth route map
