Url.Content(null) MVC 5 return a link

Question

When my DateReturned is null, I want to add a link in my html that redirects me to ~/CohortSubscriptions/Edit which allows me to add a DateReturned

@{
  var dateReturned = Model.DateReturned == null ? "" : Url.Content(Model.DateReturned);
}

When I do this my 2nd Model.DateReturned issues the following error:

"can not convert from 'System.DateTime?' to 'String' "

What is the right way to write it?

Answer 1

Url.Content expects a string , not a DateTime object.

You can fix it by:

Url.Content(Model.DateReturned.ToString()); //you might want to specify a format.
