the UrlHelper will be able to generate urls if you have a matching
rule for it.
$Url.For("%{controller='product', action='view',
params={name='ProductName'}}") would generate a URL if you have a
valid route, I guess like this:
RoutingModuleEx.Engine.Add(
new PatternRoute("/<controller>/<name>")
.DefaultForAction().Is("view"));
You can add restrictions for it if you like.
This would make:
/product/ProductName
call ProductController, on action View(string name) where name =
'ProductName'.
You would need to internally map 'ProductName' to the approriate id in
your action aswell as use the correct ProductName in your UrlHelper in
the view.
I would however combine productname with the id instead, like this:
/product/15/product-name
so that I would get 15 in my view, without the need for any mapping.
This however needs another route than the one I supplied.
Hope this helps.
