mvc route problem - using integer parameters

Question

I have a route like this in my global.asax.cs:

        routes.MapRoute(
           "NewsArticles",
           "News/{page}",
           new { controller = "News", action = "Index", archive = false }
       );

How can I restrict access to this route so that it's only encountered if the user uses an integer?

Make sure you put this route before the default route. You could also use regular expressions to restrict possible parameter values:

routes.MapRoute(
    "NewsArticles",
    "News/{page}",
    new { controller = "News", action = "Index" },
    new { page = @"^\d{1,3}$" }
);

Remark: In your example you are using archive = false while there is no archive parameter defined in the route.
