Question

i am making an application called AskQuestion where in on the first page i have a list of questions as links and below it is a textarea and a post button to post the question.
as i write inside the textarea and press the post button it is displayed inside the question list.
now i m fetching the posted questions from the database. and i need to display it as a link..
but Html.Actionlink does not support this

this is my Model class:

  public class Question_Page
{

    public virtual int Id { get; set; }
    public virtual string Question_name { get; set; }
    public virtual string Address { get; set; }
    public virtual DateTime Created_Date { get; set; }
    public virtual DateTime Modified_Date { get; set; }
    public virtual int Created_By { get; set; }
    public virtual int Modified_By { get; set; }
    public virtual char Deleted { get; set; }
    public Question_Page()
    {
        this.Deleted='F';
    }
}

This is my view:

@model IEnumerable<Core.Model.Question_Page>

@{
  ViewBag.Title = "Index";
 }
<style type="text/css">
ul
 {
    list-style-type: none;
 }
</style>

<h2>All Questions</h2>
<hr />

@using (Html.BeginForm("Index","Question",FormMethod.Post))
{
 @Html.ValidationSummary(true)
<ul>
foreach (var item in Model) {

    <li>@Html.ActionLink(item.Question_name, "answer", new { id=item.Id   })</li>
}
   </ul>
<label for="PostyourQuestion:">Post your Question:</label><br /><br />
 @Html.TextArea("textID")    

<br />
<input type="submit"/>
}   

But with this i get an error saying “item does not exists in the current context”

i know i can use anchor tag also before this and i tried that too

<ul>
foreach (var item in Model) {

   <li><a href="answer.cshtml">@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Question_name)</a></li>
}
</ul>

but with it does not identify the url specified in href

please help me

I did a sample which looks like yours and I found out that you missed “@” before “foreach”

@foreach (var item in Model) {
