I have the following action link in a view for shows at for example /Shows/Details/1

<%= Html.ActionLink(item.venue, "Details", "Venues", new { name = item.venue }) %>

This displays the name of the Venue the show is being played at, but I need it to link to the Venue instead of the Shows controller as at the moment the url it is creating is /Shows/Details?Length=6 when it needs to go to /Venues/Details?Name=VenueName

The name of the controller for Venues is VenuesController.

Thanks

    You are using the wrong overload for the .ActionLink. Try this instead…

    <%= Html.ActionLink(item.venue, "Details", "Venues", new { name = item.venue }, new {}) %>

    It is currently selecting string, string, object, object overload. Your “Venues” string is being used for routing data.
