I am using a new MVC 4 Internet application template with Visual Studio 2012. I have installed the Nuget package for MVC 4 Futures. In my _Layout.cshtml
I am building the navigation menu.
This works and builds the correct URL:
@Html.ActionLink("Customers", "Index", "Customers")
This is what I would like to work, a strongly-typed variation:
@Html.ActionLink<CustomersController>(c => c.Index(), "Customers", null)
It griefs on "Cannot choose method from method group. Did you mean to invoke a method?", but something tells me that's not the real issue.
This compiles and outputs the right HTML, but not inline:
@{
var t = Html.ActionLink<CustomersController>(c => c.Index(), "Customers");
Response.Write(t);
}
How do you build strongly-typed Action/ActionLink's in MVC 4 using Razor's syntax (with or without Futures)?
