I'm pretty new to ASP.Net / MVC 2. Can anyone explain how to use the Html.ActionLink thing? I understand that the first parameter is the displayed text, but for the second one, what is the action name?
If i do the following the content is html encoded. <%= Html.ActionLink("<img src='/images/icons/tick.png' />More info", "OrderRegion", "Campaign", new {id = Model.Campaign.Id}, null) %>
I have an ActionLink: <%: Html.ActionLink("MyAction", "MyAction") %> I would like to use a button instead. Something like this: <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="MyAction" /> What do I need to do to make clicking the button perform the same action as clicking the ActionLink?
I was reading the ASP.NET MVC Best Practices article by Rashid, and got stuck in his description of creating UrlHelper extensions. Doing this is easy enough, and I've adopted the practice into all of my projects. I noticed, however, that Rashid used Url.Content to generate the url for the home page, and Url.RouteUrl for all the other urls. Why is this? What is the difference between the two?

I've used Html.ActionLink in my Views, but I'm wondering what difference it would be if I used Url.RouteUrl instead. Does anyone have a good grasp of what makes these helpers different, and where they are best used?
Is there a way to stuff my ViewModel into an Ajax.ActionLink? edit I'd like to take my 5 search fields on my page which are bind to a view model and send it along my .ActionLink as my object value parameter.
I have a route (the first one listed) which looks like this:
routes.MapRoute( "TopicRoute", // Route name "forums/{forumSlug}/{topicSlug}", // URL with parameters new { controller = "Forums", action = "Topic"} // Parameter defaults );
I can browse to: /forums/my-forum/my-topic and the page loads fine. Yet I have a Html.ActionLink that looks like: @Html.ActionLink(item.Title, "Topic", new { forumSlug ="my-forum", topicSlug = "my-topic" }) And it won't generate the correct link syntax for me? It generates: <a href="">My Topic</a>
I'm having problems getting my CSS class to style an actionlink inside a html.partial. In building my test site, I've used the template beginning from ASP.NET and the standard login portion. My Index page works fine as the _Layout.cshtml does reference my css page. In _LogOnPartial, I have the following listed (there is more but this is what's important I believe):
That looks right but it's not showing it correctly. The font isn't Helvetica and it is underlined and not white. I don't reference the css sheet in the LogOnPartial but I didn't think I'd have too.
However my buttons need to be translated into difrent languages depending on the country the user is in Im translating the button lable text fine in my controller and passing it into the view , but now im alittle stumped over syntax Id like to replace "Swap User" above with
I've never been able to understand why it is that some things are made in a particular way, and Html.ActionLink is one of these. In Global.asax, if I want to create a route, it has the format:
[Code]....
The order of the necessary parameters here is "name/controller/action/extra params". When using Html.ActionLink, the parameter order is "name/action/controller/extra params", which is much the same but with two of them switched around. To make things more confusing, the rendered html from the Html.ActionLink has the original order "controller/action/extra params" with the name inside of the anchor tag. Why do this? It's easy enough to memorize that the order is switched for absolutely no reason I can discerne, but why do it in the first place?
I need to disable the Html.ActionLink() after clicking on it. Means i want to populate all the records from database after clicking on link but after populating hat link should be disabled.
