I think what you want is this:
Html.ActionLink(article.Title,
"Login", // <-- Controller Name.
"Item", // <-- ActionMethod
new { id = article.ArticleID }, // <-- Route arguments.
null // <-- htmlArguments .. which are none. You need this value
// otherwise you call the WRONG method ...
// (refer to comments, below).
)
This uses the following method ActionLink signature:
public static string ActionLink(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper,
string linkText,
string controllerName,
string actionName,
object values,
object htmlAttributes)
two arguments have been switched around
Html.ActionLink(article.Title,
"Item", // <-- ActionMethod
"Login", // <-- Controller Name.
new { id = article.ArticleID }, // <-- Route arguments.
null // <-- htmlArguments .. which are none. You need this value
// otherwise you call the WRONG method ...
// (refer to comments, below).
)
This uses the following method ActionLink signature:
public static string ActionLink(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper,
string linkText,
string actionName,
string controllerName,
object values,
object htmlAttributes)
arguments are in the same order as MVC2, however the id value is no longer required:
Html.ActionLink(article.Title,
"Item", // <-- ActionMethod
"Login", // <-- Controller Name.
new { article.ArticleID }, // <-- Route arguments.
null // <-- htmlArguments .. which are none. You need this value
// otherwise you call the WRONG method ...
// (refer to comments, below).
)
This avoids hard-coding any routing logic into the link.
<a href="/Item/Login/5">Title</a>
This will give you the following html output, assuming:
article.Title = "Title"article.ArticleID = 5. .
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "" } // Parameter defaults
);
