In ASP.MVC 3 or 4 (using Razor), how do you apply a CSS Class

  • 0

In ASP.MVC 3 or 4 (using Razor), how do you apply a CSS Class to a Url.Action() helper method? Is it possible?

Desired outcome:

<a href="home\index?page=2" class="FOO">BAR</a>

I have gotten this far:

@Url.Action("Index", "Home", new { page })

UPDATE: Thanks all. I made a couple of mistakes that I should clarify for future readers (most likely myself). I wish I could give more than one of you credit.

a) new { page } – do not do this. It will produce undesired output. I meant: ViewBag.page or ViewBag.pageNum

b) As a few of you pointed out, I needed Html.ActionLink() not Url.Action() which I had been using successfully until I switched to generating the full tag, not just the url.

I confirmed that the following works as desired:

@Html.ActionLink("BAR", "Index", "Home", new { ViewBag.PageNum }, new { @class = "FOO" })

    I believe you want to use an ActionLink instead. This will allow you to add any attributes you want.

    @Html.ActionLink("BAR", "Index", "Home", new { page }, new { @class = "FOO" })

    output:

    <a href="home/index?page=2" class="FOO">BAR</a>

    or you can do it “manually”

    <a href="@Url.Action("Index", "Home", new { page })" class="FOO">BAR</a>
