How to redirect to index actionresult while not displaying index in the url

Question

Basically, in my controller I'm redirecting to the Index action:

return RedirectToAction("", new { id = id });

This works great except for the fact that the URL bar displays controllername/index/id. I would like to be able to avoid displaying "Index" in the URL. Is this possible? And if so, how?

For reference : stackoverflow.com/questions/15836401/…

Add a route without the action name in your global.asax.cs:

routes.MapRoute("NoActionInURL", "ControllerName/{id}", 
       new { controller = "ControllerName", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional });

Shouldn't it be "without the action name"? "I would like to be able to avoid displaying "Index" in the URL."

My mistake, I thought he wanted to hide the controller. Have updated.

Thanks for your answer and I'm sorry for the late reply. A question though: I'm redirecting to it using: return RedirectToAction("", new { id = id }); However when I redirect it still displays index?
