Question

On HomeController.cs code :

 if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
            {
                var profile = Profile.GetProfile(User.Identity.Name);
                ViewData["Message"] = "Welcome " + profile.FirstName + "!";
            }
            else
            {
                ViewData["Message"] = "Welcome to myblog.";
                ViewData["RegisterLink"] = "please register <%:Html.ActionLink('Register', 'Register', 'Account')%>.";
            }

If user is not logged in it should have to show
welcome to myblog and please register (it must be actionlink)

and on index.aspx inside Content code is:

  <%:  ViewData["RegisterLink"] %>

But I’m failed to generate ActionLink please help.

Answer 1

There are many different ways to tackle what you want, I prefer the strongly typed view approach but you could try the following:

ViewData["RegisterLink"] = "true";

Then inside your View, if RegisterLink is true, show the ActionLink().
