Question

I’m having a problem generating dynamic links to items from my code.

Code that I’m using:

Html.ActionLink("View Checklist Summary", "Details", "Product", 
     new { Area = "Reporting" }, new { Item = 478})

What I need:
URL — localhost:58412/Reporting/Product/Details?Item=478

What I’m getting:
URL — localhost:58412/Reporting/Product/Details

I’ve been working on this for way too long, and I can’t seem to find any reason why the “Item=478” is not being added to the URL created by the ActionLink.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

Try this:

Html.ActionLink("View Checklist Summary", "Details", "Product", new { Area = "Reporting", Item = 478 }, new { })

The Area and the Item must be specified in the routevalues object. The last empty object, if I recall, is the HtmlAttributes object.
