Question

I need to setup a query string in a View using MVC and Razor.

Here my code

Controller: Home
ActionResult: Daily
QueryString: DateForLookUp 

@Html.ActionLink("Next Day", "Daily", "Home", new { @DateForLookUp = @Model.AddOneDay() })

the result at the moment is

http://mysite.com/Home/Daily?lenght=4

it should be

http://mysite.com/Home/Daily?DateForLookUp=01/01/2014

What I am doing wrong here?

Answer 1

The Html.ActionLink has a lots of overloads.

And you are using the wrong overload which interprets your controller name "Home" as the route values.

One of correct overload/sysntax is:

@Html.ActionLink(
    "Next Day", //linkText
    "Daily", //actionName
    "Home", //controllerName
     new { @DateForLookUp = @Model.AddOneDay() }, //routeValues
     null //htmlAttributes
)
