Build Dynamic parameter objects in ASP.Net MVC

Question

Hi I am trying to create one common ActionResult that can return redirectToAction with dynamic ActionName, ControllerName and object Parameter if any

public ActionResult partner()
        {
//Building my params
obj.parameters = string.Format("cId = {0}, aId= {1}", CustomerID, Session["LocationId"]);
 return RedirectToAction(obj.actionName, obj.controllerName, string.IsNullOrEmpty(obj.parameters) ? null : new { obj.parameters });
}

I am not sure if this is possible in MVC. Did any one had such requirement? is there any work around to achieve something like this.

no. these params are build based on business logic. in some instance there may be few parameters and some time none. With the above code it is rendering the url as /Controller/Action?parameters="cid=2,aid=3" — HaBo, Feb 11 '13 at 20:21

Here are a couple ideas that may help you out:

Option 1: Use an anonymously typed object containing the route values.

obj.parameters = new { cId = CustomerID, aId = Session["LocationId"] };
return RedirectToAction(obj.actionName, obj.controllerName, obj.parameters);

Option 2: Use a RouteValueDictionary as described in this answer to a similar question.

obj.parameters = new RouteValueDictionary();
obj.parameters['cId'] = CustomerID;
obj.parameters['aId'] = Session["LocationId"];
return RedirectToAction(obj.actionName, obj.controllerName, obj.parameters);
