@Html.ActionLink calling Post method

Question

I have a @HTML.ActionLink in my Razor view and I'd like for it to call a Post action method rather than a Get one.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

If you are using bootstrap you can easily make a button look like a link by applying the btn-link class, for example

<input type="submit" name="ActionType" value="Edit" class="col-md-1 btn btn-link" />

Answer 2

If you want to invoke POST action, put this link inside form which uses POST action, or use ajax version. You can find some more details here.
