ActionLink Includes Current {id} in URL

Question

The page currently displayed in my browser is: http://localhost:19255/Object/Browse/1.

A link on this page is created with: @Html.ActionLink(\"...

Answer 1

While neither of the following work:

@Html.ActionLink("...", "Browse", "Object", null)              // Has no effect
@Html.ActionLink("...", "Browse", "Object", new { id = null }) // Error

The following solves the issue:

@Html.ActionLink("...", "Browse", "Object", new { id = "" })   // No ID is passed
