Question

I am trying to output the following URL using the ASP.Net MVC3 framework and I am a total noob at this stuff:

http://www.foo.com/controller/action/1

Here is my code so far:

@Html.ActionLink("Click here!", "action", new { Controller = "controller" })

This gives me:

http://www.foo.com/controller/action/

What do I need to get a simple hardcoded 1 in there at the end?

Answer 1

To specify route parameters you’ll need to use the following signature

@Html.ActionLink("Click here!", "action", "controller", new {id = 1}, null })

The null at the end represents the HtmlAttributes which you can specify if you like

Also checkout this question “HTML.ActionLink method” for a great description of how ActionLink should be used
