MVC ActionLink html attributes

I want to use ActionLink instead of plain html to popup my modal window but its working fine with plain html tag but not with MVC actionlink please have a look below.

from: (working)

<button class="btn btn-primary btn-lg" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">

to: (error)

@Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", null, new { id = @item.Id }, new { @data-toggle="modal", @data-target="#myModal" })

Invalid anonymous type member declarator. Anonymous type members must be declared with a member assignment, simple name or member access.

You need to use the underscore character instead or the hyphen character in the attribute name (the html helper will output the html correctly). Note also the @ character is not required (its only necessary when using a reserved word, e.g. class or readonly)

@Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", null, new { id = @item.Id }, new { data_toggle="modal", data_target="#myModal" })
