How to get an ActionLink to append an / to the end of a link

Question

Hi,

My question is simple, how to get an ActionLink to append an / to the end of a link. For some reason our SEO team seem to think this is useful? (anyone? why?) currently ActionLink renders the link as More about vouchers but they would like it to be More about vouchers. Does anyone know how to easily do this without constructing my own element and using Url.Action instead?

Many thanks,

Chris

Answer 1

<a href="<%= Url.Action ("More", "Vouchers") + "/" %>">More about vouchers</a>

Answer 2

You could make an extension method to UrlHelper and use that instead of Action()

public static class UrlHelperExtensions
{
    public static string MyAction(this UrlHelper helper, string action, string controller)
    {
        return helper.Action(action, controller) + "/";
    }
}

Then you can use it like this from your code

<%= Html.ActionLink("More about vouchers", "More", "Vouchers") %>

But i'd really recommend you implement one extension method per action, so you can refer to then like this:

<%= Html.ActionLink("More about vouchers", Url.MoreAboutVouchers()) %>
