Use Anchor Link in asp.net MVC

I put an html anchor link in one of my Views. Just like this:

<a href="SomePage.html"> Some Link<a>

It does not go to the page. I suppose it is because it does not have a Controller and is not wired up with MapRoute.

My question is: Can I use a regular html anchor tab in an MVC application or Must I wire it up with the MVC Controller and MapRoute?

This is because an HTML file in a view folder doesn't automatically have an action associated with it. Remember, with MVC, views are just something that is rendered by a controller that is serving a route. The views folder is just a handy place to store these views, and doesn't map to any actual URL's unless there is a route specified.

The general convention is to put these kinds of files in the Static or Content folder, where they will be served up just fine.

You should be able to. Is the path correct? What page is it on? Are you going up the path tree?
