MVC 3 - RouteUrl with 4 parameters

Question

I'm trying to build URL in razor view that will pass 2 RouteData.Values to my action.

This is the code:

<input type="button" value="View" onclick="location.href='@Url.RouteUrl("ViewMessage", new { threadId = 955, messageId = 11 })'" />

In Global.asax I defined the following:

routes.MapRoute(
"ViewMessage", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{threadId}/{messageId}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Board", action = "Messages", threadId = UrlParameter.Optional, messageId = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults

);

Why my url looks like this:

http://localhost/Site/Board/Messages/955?messageId=11

and not like this:

http://localhost/Site/Board/Messages/955/11

I understand that I can use string.Format, but rather to find MVC helper solution

try the following route

routes.MapRoute(
"ViewMessage", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{threadId}/{threadId}/{messageID}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Board", action = "Messages", threadId = UrlParameter.Optional, messageId = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults

My guess would be: if both threadId and messageId are optional, how would the following URL be resolved: http://localhost/Site/Board/Messages/955?

Try removing UrlParameter.Optional from threadId (and potentially using different route for that).

well, threadId is optional as well, but still it does included as route data

Does removing optional from threadId help? I can explain my opinion, but if it is wrong then there is no point.
