@Html.Actionlink not hyperlinking to actual controller action

In a mvc project there are two controller

  1. HomeController Contain a view client
  2. EndorsementController Contain a View add

from the add view in EndorsmentController I wrote an actionlink as below

@Html.ActionLink("Back to Home", "client", "Home", new { @style = "color: #FFF" })

but when ever I click this actionlink it is looking for a URL

Endorsement/client

Actually it should be 

Home/Client

Why it is not taking the correct controller name? Anything I am missing?

You are using the wrong ActionLink overload method. You can try the following code in your view:

@Html.ActionLink("Back to Home", "client", "Home", null, new { @style = "color: #FFF" })

The rendered HTML will look something like this:

<a href="/Home/client" style="color: #FFF">Back to Home</a>

Just a pointer try to capitalise your view names, instead of using client try Client. Both will work.

The point to take home is the particular overload you want to use. Since this is the you want to use synthax : //linkText, actionName, controllerName, routeValues, htmlAttributes the below is how your ActionLink should look like

@Html.ActionLink("Back to Home", "Client", "Home", null, new { @style = "color: #FFF" })

What you were using before follows this synthax: // linkText, actionName, routeValues, htmlAttributes which is shown below

@Html.ActionLink("Back to Home", "client", "Home", new { @style = "color: #FFF" })

Hence the Url confusion

you put your html attribute in "object route values" you have to put null into it

use the following syntax to get correct output:

@Html.ActionLink("Back to Home", "client", "Home", null, new { @style = "color: #FFF" })
