add a class attribute to an actionlink that has a routevaluedictionary

Question

Im using an action link and passing in tRVD where tRVD is the following:

<% RouteValueDictionary   tRVD = new RouteValueDictionary(ViewContext.RouteData.Values); %>

heres my link.

<%= Html.ActionLink("Previous", "Index", tRVD)%>

how do i add a class attribute to this href?

i tried this:

<%= Html.ActionLink("Previous", "Index", tRVD, new { @class = "left" })%>

but it breaks the tRVD...

Answer 1

You´re using an incorrect overload of the ActionLink method. Why don´t you try with

<%= Html.ActionLink("Previous", "Index", tRVD, new Dictionary<string, object> { { "class", "left" } })%>
