Hello

I have a custom route that without constraints generates a Restful URL with an ActionLink. Route -

 routes.MapRoute(
          "Blog", // Route name
          "Blog/{d}/{m}/{y}", // URL with parameters,
          new { controller = "Blog", action = "Retrieve" }

Generates -

   http://localhost:2875/Blog/12/1/2010

From -

<%=Html.ActionLink("Blog Entry - 12/01/2010", "Retrieve", "Blog", new { d = 12, m = 01, y = 2010 }, null)%>

If I add constraints like so.

            routes.MapRoute(
          "Blog", // Route name
          "Blog/{d}/{m}/{y}", // URL with parameters,
          new { controller = "Blog", action = "Retrieve" },
          new { d = @"\d{2}", m = @"\d{2}", y = @"\d{4}" }

It generates -

http://localhost:2875/Blog/Retrieve?d=12&m=1&y=2010

Extra information: it is added before the custom route.

Any ideas? Cheers
