I'm using MVC 5 and I'm trying to write some Bootstrap extention methods. My goal is to 'overwrite' the Html.ActionLink
method with Html.BootstrapLinkButton
. The BootstrapLinkButton
method should generate a link with the css classes "btn btn-default"
automatically attached.
My code so far:
public static MvcHtmlString BootstrapLinkButton(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper,
string linkText,string actionName, string controllerName,
object routeValues = null, object htmlAttributes = null)
{
var attributes =
HtmlHelper.AnonymousObjectToHtmlAttributes(htmlAttributes);
if (attributes.ContainsKey("class"))
{
object value;
attributes.TryGetValue("class", out value);
value = (value as string) + " btn btn-default";
attributes["class"] = value;
}
else
{
attributes["class"] = "btn btn-default";
}
return htmlHelper.ActionLink(
linkText, actionName, controllerName, routeValues,
new Dictionary<string, object>(attributes));
}
which gives me the following result in the HTML:
<a comparer="System.Collections.Generic.GenericEqualityComparer`1[System.String]"
count="3"
keys="System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2
+KeyCollection[System.String,System.Object]"
values="System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2
+ValueCollection[System.String,System.Object]"
href="/test/test/">
Test
</a>
I searched the internet, but nothing seems to fix this problem. Does anyone knows the magic code to fix this?
