How to navigate to an ASP.NET Core MVC controller in Blazor app?

Question

I have DownloadController.cs to Controllers/DownloadController with the following method:

public async Task<ActionResult> DownloadFile(string key) 
{
    return File(...);
}

Also, in my Startup.cs I have configured the following endpoints:

app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
{
    endpoints.MapControllerRoute(
        name: "default".
        pattern: "{controller}/{action}");
    endpoints.MapControllers();
    endpoints.MapBlazorHub();
    endpoints.MapFallbackToPage("/_Host");
});

So how in a Blazor view can I navigate to the controller action? I was looking for something similar to this:

@Html.ActionLink(...);

Answer 1

This should do:

@page "/MvcLinkExample"
@inject NavigationManager NavigationManager

<button @onclick="NavigateToMvcPage">MVC Link</button>

@code {
    private void NavigateToMvcPage()
    {
        NavigationManager.NavigateTo("controllername/actionname/10", true);
    }
}
