Andrew, the founder of Didsbury Design has now successfully passed the Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) for SharePoint 2010 exam. This means we are now much better equipped to take on SharePoint projects and to advise others on similar work.
We are aiming to achieve more certifications throughout 2011 to help us grow and be able to assist our clients in a broader area of subjects.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any projects coming up you wish to discuss.
All the best,

If you wan’t to allow hyphens in your URL’s you will need to change the way the routing works in your Global.asax file.
First create a new class which extends the MvcRouteHandler and place this in the Global.asax file after the main MvcApplication class.
C#:
public class HyphenatedRouteHandler : MvcRouteHandler{
protected override IHttpHandler GetHttpHandler(RequestContext requestContext)
{
requestContext.RouteData.Values["controller"] = requestContext.RouteData.Values["controller"].ToString().Replace("-", "_");
requestContext.RouteData.Values["action"] = requestContext.RouteData.Values["action"].ToString().Replace("-", "_");
return base.GetHttpHandler(requestContext);
}
}VB:
Public Class HyphenatedRouteHandler
Inherits MvcRouteHandler
Protected Overrides Function GetHttpHandler(ByVal requestContext As System.Web.Routing.RequestContext) As System.Web.IHttpHandler
requestContext.RouteData.Values("controller") = requestContext.RouteData.Values("controller").ToString.Replace("-", "_")
requestContext.RouteData.Values("action") = requestContext.RouteData.Values("action").ToString.Replace("-", "_")
Return MyBase.GetHttpHandler(requestContext)
End Function
End ClassThen you need to replace the routes.MapRoute with an equivalent routes.Add specifying the new handler as the MapRoute does not allow you to specify a custom route handler.
C#:
routes.Add(
new Route("{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new RouteValueDictionary(
new { controller = "Default", action = "Index", id = "" }),
new HyphenatedRouteHandler())
);VB:
routes.Add(New Route("{controller}/{action}/{id}",
New RouteValueDictionary(New With {.controller = "Home", .action = "Index", .id = ""}),
New HyphenatedRouteHandler()))I hope this is useful, any questions feel free to get in touch.
Would like to say thanks to John from here for answering the original question on Stackoverflow
