Razor variable inside string html helper parameter

Question

Here's may Html helper:

 @Html.ActionLink("CONTACT THE USER ABOUT THIS LISTING", "create", "contactform", new { recipientID = Model.User.Id, productid = Model.Product.ID }, null)

What I would like to do is:

 @Html.ActionLink("CONTACT " Model.UserName " ABOUT THIS LISTING", "create", "contactform", new { recipientID = Model.User.Id, productid = Model.Product.ID }, null)

Can it be done?

You can use the + operator to concatenate string values in C#:

"CONTACT " + Model.UserName + " ABOUT THIS LISTING"

Or something like string.Format() instead:

string.Format("CONTACT {0} ABOUT THIS LISTING", Model.UserName)

Thanks so much. I could not get any result just because Model.UserName in this case does not take any value. so I kept thinking I was doing something wrong.. how silly of me. Thanks again.

Yes, just use standard string concantenation.

@Html.ActionLink("CONTACT " + Model.UserName + " ABOUT THIS LISTING", "create", "contactform", new { recipientID = Model.User.Id, productid = Model.Product.ID }, null)
