Url.Action doesn't work in Controller?

the following code doesn't have error but it just doesn't work, this belong to an action name GetAction and i want a link to go to action ViewDetails(String id), all in HomeController:

String getaction = "";
getaction += "<a href=\"@Url.Action(\"ViewDetails\", \"Home\", new { id = \"ID01\"}, null)\">Click here</a>";
ViewBag.View = getaction;
return View();

in the View of GetAction: @Html.Raw(ViewBag.View)

I can see the link name "Click here", but when I click on it, error:

HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Html.Raw can not render string as you expected. that allow to output text containing html elements. you can use following code

var url = Url.Action("ViewDetails", "Home", new { id = "ID01"}, null);

var getaction = new TagBuilder("a");
getaction.MergeAttribute("href", url);
getaction.SetInnerText("Click here");

ViewBag.View = getaction;

You can't embed razor code like that, it will treat it like a literal. You may as well evaluate the URL right away, its doing the same thing the view would do.

String getaction = "";
getaction += "<a href=\""+UrlHelper.Action("ViewDetails", "Home", new { id = "ID01"}, null)+"\">Click here</a>";
ViewBag.View = getaction;
return View();
