asp.net mvc - How to register minimum routes for similar actions? -

i have actions:

public partial class mycontroller : controller {          public actionresult action1()      {                    }      public actionresult action2(int id)      {                    }       public actionresult action3(string id)      {                    }       public actionresult action4(string name)      {                    } } 

do need register routes each action this:

 routes.maproute("r1", "{controller}/{action}/{id}", new { id = urlparameter.optional });     routes.maproute("r2", "{controller}/{action}/{name}", new { name = urlparameter.optional });  

or there way register 1 pattern route actions or maybe need kind of "hack"?

similar urls should use similar routes. in case have single url pattern /controller/action/someid. use default route:

routes.maproute(     "default",     "{controller}/{action}/{id}",     new { controller = "home", action = "index", id = urlparameter.optional } ); 

and update actions:

public partial class mycontroller : controller {          public actionresult action1()      {                    }      public actionresult action2(int id)      {                    }       public actionresult action3(string id)      {                    }       public actionresult action4(string name)      {                    } } 

as far last action concerned name parameter passed query string. if insist on being part of path, rename id. better pass arbitrary strings such names query string parameters , not part of url paths.
