                file.SaveAs(path);
            }
            // redirect back to the index action to show the form once again
            return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
        }

    }

I have another masterlayout file here i have this code

<div id="LeftColumn" class="ui_style_floatLeft">
            <div id="menuWrapper">
                <ul class="menu">
                    <li class="menuDashBoard">@Html.ActionLink("Dashboard","Index")</li>
                    <li class="menuProject"><a href="#">Project</a>
                        <ul>
                            <li>@Html.ActionLink("New Project","NewProject")</li>
                            <li><a href="#">Projects</a></li>
                        </ul>
                    </li>                   
                    <li class="menuAccount"><a href="#">Account</a>
                        <ul>
                            <li>@Html.ActionLink("Change Password", "ChangePassword", "Account")</li>
                        </ul>
                    </li>                  
                </ul>               
             </div>
        </div>

But If i goto Change Password action link then other link (New Project, Dashboard) not working. i try @Url.Action into a herf attr but not working 🙁

what should i do now ?

Answer 1

• LinkText: “Dashboard”
• ActionName: “index”

• ControllerName: “dashboard”

  @Html.ActionLink(“Dashboard”, “index”, “dashboard”)

If you are using areas to group controllers into different areas you would need.

@Html.ActionLink("Dashboard", "index", "dashboard", new { area = "YourAreaName"})
