Question

I have the following HTML from MVC1.

<img alt="<%= Html.Encode(item.Name) %>" src='<%= this.Url.Action("Image", 
"Products") + "/" + item.ID.ToString()%>' width="64" height="64" />

How would I use this for MVC 3, I have tried the following it’s not working…

<img alt=" @Html.Encode(item.Name)" src='<@this.Url.Action(("Image", 
"Products")) + "/" + Picture1.SubProductCategoryID.ToString()>' 
width="64" height="64" />

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I’m making some assumptions but:

<img  alt="@item.Name"
      src='@(Url.Action("Image",  "Products") + "/" + Picture1.SubProductCategoryID.ToString())'
      width="64"
      height="64" />

If you have a statement instead of a simple action invocation, you need to surround the entire statement with parens (). Also, you needed to drop the <> around the helper. @SLaks is right about not needing the Html.Encode, too.
