@Context.User.Identity.Name

as e_id. Can i pass it in that way?? if not then what is the other way?When I hard coded like that:

@Html.ActionLink("Profile", "Details", "User", new { e_id="[e-mail]"})

it don’t redirect me in the User controller Details action.when i give URL like that:

Answer 1

Use like this

@Html.ActionLink("Profile", "Details", "User", new { e_id="Context.User.Identity.Name},null)

It uses this overload

public static MvcHtmlString ActionLink(
    this HtmlHelper htmlHelper,
    string linkText,
    string actionName,
    string controllerName,
    Object routeValues,
    Object htmlAttributes
)

If you want to pass any custom HTML attributes to the link element, you can replace the fifth parameter with that

Ex :

 @Html.ActionLink("Profile", "Details", "User", new { e_id="yourvalue"},new {@class="myCSsClassName"})
