Based on your example the Controller = UserProfile and Action=ShowProfile. Now coming to the point, check the routing for this kind of url

Your route should be:

C#

routes.MapRoute(
"Default",
"{controller}/{action}/{customuserName}",
new { controller = "UserProfile", action = "ShowProfile", customuserName = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
//Then the action will be:
public ActionResult ShowProfile(string customuserName)
       {         
 
       }

//so, change the parameter name that you defined in routing also.

I would like tell more about routing, but it will be distracting. Please read about the routing so that you can avoid routing mistakes.
