Question

I am successfully redirecting user after Login to a page called CustomerStart. After that query string (url) looks fine with the ssn like this

localhost:1234/CustomerStart?ssn=850406-0297

I am doing this by writing this

return RedirectToAction("Index", "CustomerStart", new {ssn = model.ssn});

But when I click a button which has been defined in the _layout like this,

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

my query string gets empty.

I want to keep my customer to be in the same CustomerStart page both after login or if they click the CustomerStart button.

I also want to send my customer in different views when they click any of the button under the above mentioned one.

like this,

 <li>@Html.ActionLink("CustomerStart","Index", "CustomerStart")</li>
 <li>@Html.ActionLink("Bill","Index", "Bill")</li>

So, i need to grab the value from the query string always. But I dont know how?

I am new in MVC3 and I am totally lost.

try

<li>@Html.ActionLink("CustomerStart","Index", "CustomerStart",
                    new { ssn=Request.QueryString["ssn"]},
                    null)
</li>
<li>@Html.ActionLink("Bill","Index", "Bill",
                     new { ssn=Request.QueryString["ssn"]},
                     null)
</li>
