Question

I can’t seem to retrieve an ID I’m sending in a html.ActionLink in my controller, here is what I’m trying to do

<li>     <%= Html.ActionLink("Modify Villa", "Modify", "Villa", new { @id = "1" })%></li>       public ActionResult Modify(string ID)     {          ViewData["Title"] =ID;         return View();     } 

That’s what a tutorial I followed recommended, but it’s not working, it’s also putting ?Length=5 at the end of the URL!

Here is the route I’m using, it’s default

        routes.MapRoute(             "Default",                                              // Route name             "{controller}/{action}/{id}",                           // URL with parameters             new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "" }  // Parameter defaults         );

Doesn’t look like you are using the correct overload of ActionLink. Try this:-

<%=Html.ActionLink('Modify Villa', 'Modify', new {id = '1'})%> 

This assumes your view is under the /Views/Villa folder. If not then I suspect you need:-

<%=Html.ActionLink('Modify Villa', 'Modify', 'Villa', new {id = '1'}, null)%>
