MVC & Url.Action

Question

Hi I am having difficulties using Url.Action method, please see my code below, what am I doing wrong....? (I'm using MVC Razor)

<a href='<%: @Url.Action("Edit", "Student", 
    new { id = item.DealPostID }) %>'>Hello          </a>

Student is my StudentController and Edit is ActionResult method.

Answer 1

Remove <%: %> from your Razor view. Those are WebForms tags.

<a href='@Url.Action("Edit", "Student", 
    new { id = item.DealPostID })'>Hello          </a>

Answer 2

Try this:

@Html.ActionLink("Hello", "Edit", "Student", new { id = item.DealPostID }, null)

• Argument 1: Link text
• Argument 2: Action name
• Argument 3: Controller name
• Argument 4: Route values
• Argument 5: HtmlAttributes. This is set to null so that it doesn't append "?Length=" to your URL.

That should work out for you.

Answer 3

 <a href='@Url.Action("Index", "Cliente", "Home")'>
