MVC routing problem

Question

I have a webgrid and in that webgrid I have a hyperlink. When user clicks on the hyperlink, I want them to go to a details page. For this, I have a controller 'Details' method which takes an argument. But for some reason the argument is always null. Where am I doing wrong?? Here is the webgrid;

grid.Column(format: (item) => Html.ActionLink("Advert", "Details", new { id = item.Title }))

and here is the controller;

public ActionResult Details(string title)
    {
        var ad = (from p in dc.Advert
                  where p.Title == title
                  select new AdvertIndexViewModel()
                  {
                      Title = p.Title,
                      UserName = p.UserProfile.Name

                  }).First();
        return View(ad);
    }

in the above method, the 'title' is always null...!! Will be great if someone can help me to find the mistake.

Answer 1

make sure the name of the route param matches the action method param. In this case, title...

Html.ActionLink("Advert", "Details", new { title = item.Title })
