Question

I am a bit fed up with these Html helpers.

I did a lot of research on the net but can’t finf anything..

Am I the only guy on earth that can’t get the Html.ActionLink working…

Here is what I am trying to get working :

<%=Html.ActionLink<CatalogController>(x=>x.Index(parent.Name,child.Name),child.Name) %>

I get the ActionLink method but can’t get ActionLink< > generic method from intellisense.

I have added Microsoft.Web.Mvc reference to my project and here is my pages section of my Web config file :

<namespaces>
            <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc"/>
            <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Html"/>
            <add namespace="System.Web.Routing"/>
            <add namespace="System.Linq"/>
            <add namespace="System.Collections.Generic"/>
            <add namespace="CoderForTraders.Data"/>
            <add namespace="CoderForTraders.Web.Controllers"/>

            <add namespace="AspNetMvcTypeSafety.Controllers"/>
            <add namespace="AspNetMvcTypeafety.Models"/>
            <add namespace="Microsoft.Web.Mvc"/>
        </namespaces>

What is going on !!

Thanks

I don’t think asp.net mvc assembly itself has Html.ActionLink with the control as its template , the template version you are using, it only has Html.ActionLink, you may need to find some other assembly to support that function.
