I have this code and would like to add a class to the link. Is it possible to do this in MVC3?
Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create")

Yes, there is a difference. Html. ActionLink generates an <a href=".."></a> tag whereas Url. Action returns only an url.
Html. ActionLink creates a hyperlink on a view page and the user clicks it to navigate to a new URL. It does not link to a view directly, rather it links to a controller's action.
If you need to pass through the reference to an object that is stored on the server, then try setting a parameter of the link to give a reference to the object stored on the server, that can then be retrieved by the action (example, the Id of the menuItem in question).
ActionLink is rendered as an HTML Anchor Tag (HyperLink) and hence it produces a GET request to the Controller's Action method which cannot be used to submit (post) Form in ASP.Net MVC 5 Razor. Hence in order to submit (post) Form using @Html. ActionLink, a jQuery Click event handler is assigned and when the @Html.
Yes, you can just add another parameter with object representing css class:
Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create", CONTROLLERNAME, null, new { @class= "yourCSSclass"} ) It can be translated to:
Html.ActionLink(link text, action name, controller name, route values object, html attributes object) Edit:
To add custom styles, use this:
Html.ActionLink( "Create New", "Create", CONTROLLERNAME, null, new { @class= "yourCSSclass", @style= "width:100px; color: red;" } ) If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
