ASP.Net Core | Issue with Html.ActionLink-CodePudding

I'm new to ASP.net core and I was trying to write a redirect action using @Html.ActionLink

Here is my code :

@page
@model IndexModel
@{
    ViewData["Title"] = "Home page";
}

<div >
    <h2>Main Navigation</h2>
    <ul>
    <li>@Html.ActionLink("PRIVACY PAGE", "Privacy", "Privacy")</li>
    </ul>
</div>

This action link is supposed to redirect to the PrivacyPage, but instead, the values that I pass are being sent as a parameter to the URL

https://localhost:7020/?action=Privacy&controller=Privacy

The expected result is

https://localhost:7020/Privacy

Not sure what I'm missing. Will this ActionLink work only for the MVC projects?

Thank You !!

If i understand you correctly, I think you put wrong controller name.

@Html.ActionLink("link text", "actionname", "controllername")

Instead of @Html.ActionLink("PRIVACY PAGE", "Privacy", "Privacy") it will be @Html.ActionLink("PRIVACY PAGE", "Privacy", "Home")

CodePudding user response：

You can use asp-page attribute with Razor Pages.

<a asp-page="/Privacy">Privacy</a>

if your Privacy page in another folder like /Pages/Home/Privacy

<a asp-page="/Home/Privacy">Privacy</a>
