MVC routing - using part of a route to switch views
I have a series of urls that look like
/Catalog/Ajax/Update/{ViewToUpdate}?var1=a&var2=b&var3=c
Currently I have set up several routes - one for each {ViewToUpdate}, and what I would like to do is pass {ViewToUpdate} to my Action handler so that I can condense my code. Instead:
public ActionResult AjaxUpdateNavigation(string var1, string var2, string var3) {}
I would like to:
public ActionResult AjaxUpdateNavigation(string ViewToUpdate, string var1, string var2, string var3) {}
Here are my current routes:
routes.MapRoute(
"CatalogAjaxNavigation",
"Catalog/Ajax/Update/Navigation",
new { controller = "Catalog", action = "AjaxUpdateNavigation" }
);
How do I properly configure the route definition to handle both the {ViewToUpdate} string and still passing through the request?
TIA

Here's my route:
routes.MapRoute("TestThing", "test/{ViewToUpdate}", new {controller = "Home", action = "TestQSParams"});
Here's my action:
public ActionResult TestQSParams(string ViewToUpdate, string var1, string var2)
{
TestQSParamsModel m = new TestQSParamsModel {var1 = var1, var2 = var2, ViewToUpdate = ViewToUpdate};
return View("TestQSParams", m);
}
Here's my model:
public class TestQSParamsModel
{
public string ViewToUpdate { get; set; }
public string var1 { get; set; }
public string var2 { get; set; }
}
Here's my view:
From QS:<br />
<% foreach(string s in Request.QueryString)
Response.Write(string.Format("{0}={1}<br />", s, Request.QueryString[s])); %>
<br />
<br />
From Model:<br />
<asp:Literal ID="modelvars" runat="server"></asp:Literal>
View code:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
modelvars.Text = string.Format("{0}<br />{1}<br />{2}", Model.var1, Model.var2, Model.ViewToUpdate);
}
My url:
/test/ThisView?var0=douglas&var1=patrick&var2=caldwell
Finally my result:
From QS:
var0=douglas
var1=patrick
var2=caldwell
From Model:
patrick
caldwell

new { controller = "Catalog", action = "AjaxUpdateNavigation" , ViewToUpdate = (string)null }
);
public ActionResult AjaxUpdateNavigation(string ViewToUpdate, string var1, string var2, string var3) {}
