Question

I used below code in ASp.NET web forms code behined. Its passing parameter in the URL to which which page I am on so that I make HTML and add ON CLASS to show the page I am on. Now

How I solve this in MVC?. Any clean approach.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (!(Page.IsPostBack))
            {
                string Load;
                Load = "";
                string pagename = Request.Path.Substring(Request.Path.LastIndexOf("http://www.example.com/") + 2);
                if (!(Request.QueryString["Nav"] == null))
                {
                    if (Request.QueryString.Get("Nav") == "Home")
                    {
                        Load = "<div class='menu-image'><img src='images/on-left.gif' alt='' /></div><div class='on'><a href='default.aspx?Nav=Home' class='over'>Home</a></div><div class='menu-image'><img src='images/on-right.gif' alt='' /></div>";
                        Navigate.InnerHtml = Load + "<a href='aboutus.aspx?Nav=About'>About Us</a><a href='contactus.aspx?Nav=Contact'>Contact Us</a>";
                    }
                    else if (Request.QueryString.Get("Nav") == "About")
                    {
                        Load = "<div class='menu-image'><img src='images/on-left.gif' alt='' /></div><div class='on'><a href='aboutus.aspx?Nav=About' class='over'>About Us</a></div><div class='menu-image'><img src='images/on-right.gif' alt='' /></div>";

                    }
                    else if (Request.QueryString.Get("Nav") == "Contact")
                    {

                    }
                }
                else if (pagename == "default.aspx")
