Menu
I'm using the markup as follows.
@Html.ActionLink(@User.Identity.Name, "LogOut", "Account")
Now, I need to add a span inside the anchor because I want to use glyphs from Bootstrap. As far my googlearch went, there's no way to specify it using the helper above. So, I've redesigned it to explicit HTML as follows.
<a href="~/Account/LogOut">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-log-out"></span>
<span>@Global.LogOut @User.Identity.Name</span>
</a>
It works but the link isn't always targeting the same address as the first example does. It's because I've got en/ or se/ etc. for language first. When routing based on MVC, the language prefix stays in place but it gets lost when specifying the URL explicitly.
How can I specify a call to the specific action method?

asp-actionIt is used to specify the name of the action method (in the Controller) that helps us to generate the URL. The generated URL is placed in the href attribute of the anchore tag.
The following illustrates the Index() action method in the StudentController class. As you can see in the above figure, the Index() method is public, and it returns the ActionResult using the View() method. The View() method is defined in the Controller base class, which returns the appropriate ActionResult .
Index() action is invoked, a view is not returned. Instead, the raw text "Hello World!" is returned to the browser. If a controller action returns a result that is not an action result - for example, a date or an integer - then the result is wrapped in a ContentResult automatically.
Try:
<a href="@Url.Action("LogOut", "Account")">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-log-out"></span>
<span>@Global.LogOut @User.Identity.Name</span>
</a>
