I have a field to my db which is external link and one that is a file. I need to display these fields to my view. I have this code where I call my data.

@Html.DisplayFor(model => model.announcement_Link)

and for the file

@Html.DisplayFor(model => model.announcement_Uploaded_File)

It brings the url and the file name . How can I make the 1st to be a link and the second to be linked to the file and to be downloaded? thank you

Answer 1

In Database :

1. For A Link:

eg SQL:

update AnnouncementTable set announcement_Link='http://www.example.com/Announcement/All'
where ID=123

2. For A Downloadable Link: (Note: saving uploaded file link with filename in column like:)

update AnnouncementTable set announcement_Uploaded_File='http://www.example.com/Announcement/
download/filename' where ID=123

In asp mvc view

1. For A Link:

<a href="@model.announcement_Link">View</a>

2. For A Downloadable Link:

<a href="@model.announcement_Uploaded_File">View</a>

hope this helps.
