In _Layout.cshtml file I have following entry:
@Html.Action("LoadPagesStructure", "Page")
Inside PageController class, LoadPagesStructure methos looks following:
[ChildActionOnly] /* this attribute indicates that an action should not
be invoked as a result of a user request (by url) */
public ActionResult LoadPagesStructure()
{
ViewModel.Pages = new List<string>() {"page1", "page2", "page3"};
return View();
}
Finally, my LoadPagesStructure.cshtml view looks like below:
@inherits System.Web.Mvc.WebViewPage<dynamic>
<ul>
@foreach (var page in View.Pages) {
<li>
@Html.ActionLink(page, "Index", "Home")
</li>
}
</ul>
Unfortunately, an exception is thrown after execution:
System.InvalidOperationException: Child actions are not allowed to perform redirect actions.
What is the way of creating links to my pages dynamically ?
PS: I know that I can do this like that: <a href="@page">@page</a>
. Nevertheless I think this is not the right way, because control of the routing is impossible here.
