asp.net mvc Html.ActionLink() keeping route value I don't want

Question

I have the following ActionLink in my view

<%= Html.ActionLink(\"LinkText\", \"Action\", \"Controller\"); %>

and it creates the follo

Answer 1

I explicitly set the action name as "Action/". Seems a little like a hack but it's a quick fix.

@Html.ActionLink("Link Name", "Action/", "Controller")

Answer 2

I needed my menu links to be dynamic. Rather than implement a lot of extra code and routing for every single page I simple dispensed with the HTML helper.

<a href="@(item.websiteBaseURL)/@(item.controller)/@(item.ViewName)">@item.MenuItemName</a>

Answer 3

The problem is the built in methods take input from the URL you are currently on as well as what you supply. You could try this:

<%= Html.ActionLink("LinkText", "Action", "Controller", new { id = ""}) %>

That should manually wipe the id parameter.
