Adding class to ActionLink

Question

I have action link with login button

@Html.ActionLink("Login", "Login", "Account")

It works perfect redirecting user to Account controller Login action. But When I'm trying to add class to style this button:

@Html.ActionLink("Login", "Login", "Account", new { @class = "btn btn-primary btn-lg" }) 

It does get style and looks good, but it loses controller info and redirects user to Home/Login, instead of Account/Login

Answer 1

You need to add a null parameter before your style, because it refers to routeValues:

@Html.ActionLink("Login", "Login", "Account", null, new { @class = "btn btn-primary btn-lg" }) 

Have a look at it's documentation Here.
