Addition to the accepted answer:
if you are going to use
@Html.ActionLink("LinkName", "ActionName", "ControllerName", new { @id = idValue, @secondParam= = 2 },null)
this will create actionlink where you can't create new custom attribute or style for the link.
However, the 4th parameter in ActionLink extension will solve that problem. Use the 4th parameter for customization in your way.
@Html.ActionLink("LinkName", "ActionName", "ControllerName", new { @id = idValue, @secondParam= = 2 }, new { @class = "btn btn-info", @target = "_blank" })
