Different url based on development environment with C# MVC

Question

I have two MVC web applications, a www.company.com and a solution.company.com

The website www.company.com include links to solution.company.com/Contact but how can I set

Answer 1

You don't need to use app settings for this. Just use the URLHelper that's part of MVC and it'll ensure that the correct hostname is used.

So instead of this:

Contact Us 

You do this:

Contact Us

That will generate a link that points to the Contact action within the IndexController.

Another option is to use the HTMLHelper extension method to generate the entire tag for you. In that case, you'd do this:

@Html.ActionLink("Index", "Contact", "Contact Us")
