@Html.ActionLink and @Html.DisplayFor at the same time (not right, but it describes what I want to do)

Question

I have the following table located in a view within a controller named Student (/Student/Details/1):

    @foreach (var item in Model.Enrollments)
    {
        &         


        

Answer 1

// you want to use link with the displaying a course. you can use.

<a href = "@url.action("Details","course",new {Id = item.Course.Id}
@html.displayfor(m => m.Course.Title)</a>

// second approach

 @Html.ActionLink(item.Course.Title, "Details", "Course", new { Id = item.Course.Id })

Answer 2

If I understand right your question, you want a link with the text of the course.

This should work:

  @Html.ActionLink(item.Course.Title, "Details", "Course")

If you want to pass the ID of the course to the controller (assuming your routing rules are set correctly and the Id is something like: item.Course.Id)

  @Html.ActionLink(item.Course.Title, "Details", "Course", new { Id = item.Course.Id }, null /* html attributes */)

If you need to use the UIHint attribute on the property, to add extra formatting, you can use this

  <a href="@Url.Action("Details", "Course", new { Id=item.Course.Id})">@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Course.Title)</a>

Answer 3

You forgot an ) after Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Course.Title.

Maybe try adding a .ToString() to it might help.
