How to pass query string parameter in ActionLink in MVC

Question

I am having following action link:

<%= Html.ActionLink(\"Check this\", \"Edit\", \"test\", 
                     new { id = id }, new { style = \"display:bloc         


        

Answer 1

I got tired of banging my head against a wall with the html.actionlink. Works great when you just want to route it against straightforward routing calls, but absolutely refuses to cooperate when you want to add a simple querystring at the end.

I don't an ID at then end, I want to be able to add some kind of actual Querystring with the "?".

So anywhere I needed a Querystring I switched to using the url.action inside the anchor tag.

Text for Link Name

At least it works and I can stop getting headaches over something that should have been a very simple task. Someone needs to get their heads out of their butts and make the ActionLink work properly for Querystrings in the MVC routing.
