how to pass a querystring param to url.action in asp.net mvc

Question

I have an asp.net mvc 5 project. Inside a view I want to pass a parameter from the request's query string to an action. Here's what i did:

<a href="@Html.Action("GetData", "TestController", Request.QueryString["param"])"> Click here</a>

But this doesn't pass the querystring param. Any ideas? Thanks

@Html.Action("GetData", "TestController", new { param = Request.QueryString["param"] }) — emerson.marini

You could use <a href="@Url.Action("GetData", "TestController", new{ parameter = Request.QueryString["parameter"]})">Click here</a> — Jorge F

You should be able to use an ActionLink helper

@Html.ActionLink("GetData", "TestController", new { param = Request.QueryString["param"] })
