Question

Been looking ( maybe in the wrong place) , but I’m wondering how do I give a parameter from my actionlink to my controller.

This is my actionlink

 <li>@Html.ActionLink("MyEpisodes", "Index", "Paging")</li>

And this is my function in my controller

  public ActionResult Index(int? page, string condition)
        {
// do stuff

So does anybody have an idea how to get my parameter condition from the actionlink?

Answer 1

@Html.ActionLink("MyEpisodes", "Index", "Paging", new { condition = "..." }, null)

When passing both the controller name (“Paging”) and routeValues to ActionLink you also need to pass null to the last parameter so it uses the correct ActionLink overload:

public static MvcHtmlString ActionLink(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, string linkText, string actionName, string controllerName, object routeValues, object htmlAttributes)

instead of the wrong one:

public static MvcHtmlString ActionLink(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, string linkText, string actionName, object routeValues, object htmlAttributes)
