Question

I am trying to navigate between controllers using ActionLink. I will tell my problem with an example.

I am on Index view of Hat controller, and I am trying to use below code to create a link to Details action of Product controller.

<%= Html.ActionLink('Details', 'Details', 'Product', new { id=item.ID }) %> 

Instead of creating a link to Details on Product controller, this generates a link to Details action under Hat controller and appends a Length parameter to the end of it:

Hat/Details/9?Length=7 

I am not able to use HTML.ActionLink to switch between controllers because of this problem. I will appreciate if you can point me to what I am doing wrong. Thanks

PS: I am using the default route setting that comes with MVC

routes.MapRoute('Default', '{controller}/{action}/{id}',                       new { controller = 'Home', action = 'Index', id = '' } ); 

Answer 1

What you want is this overload :

//linkText, actionName, controllerName, routeValues, htmlAttributes <%=Html.ActionLink('Details', 'Details',      'Product', new {id = item.ID}, null) %>
