How to have a a razor action link open in a new tab?

Question

I trying to get my link to open in a new tab (it must be in razor format):

    <a href="@Url.Action("RunReport", "Performance", new { reportView = Model.ReportView.ToString() }, new { target = "_blank" })" type="submit" id="runReport" class="button Secondary">@Reports.RunReport</a> 

This is not working though. Anyone know how to do this?

Answer 1

Just use the HtmlHelper ActionLink and set the RouteValues and HtmlAttributes accordingly.

@Html.ActionLink(Reports.RunReport, "RunReport", new { controller = "Performance", reportView = Model.ReportView.ToString() }, new { target = "_blank" })
