Hyperlink doesn't redirect to View from same project

Question

I want to redirect from one view to another view in the same project/solution. There are 3 hyperlinks in here and I am unable to redirect to either of them. Can someone help me with this?

<body>
  <div>
    <br />
    <span style="margin-left:20%"></span>
    <a href="~/Views/Corporation/ForgotLoginId.cshtml">Forgot Login ID?</a>
    <br />
    <br /><span style="margin-left:20%"></span>
    <a href="~/Views/Corporation/ForgotPassword.cshtml">Forgot Password?</a>
    <br />
    <br />
    <span style="margin-left:20%"></span>
    Need to register your Corporation?
    <a href="~/Views/Corporation/CorporationRegistrationPg1.cshtml">Click here</a>
  </div>
</body>

When I try to click on the hyperlink, I am getting the following HTTP 404 Not Found error. I tried many approaches, but none seem to work.

error

I tried different approaches to linking to the controller. But, I failed to get any positive output.

Asp.net does not have phyiscal routing - you do not want to link to physical files. Instead it resolves its routes after a pattern. The default pattern, unless specified otherwise is "{controller}/{action}/{id}".

So assuming your controller is called CorporationController, and your action method is called "ForgotPassword", the hyperlink would be constructed with:

@Html.ActionLink("Forgot Password", "ForgotPassword", "Corporation")

You might want to read some basic documentation about Asp.Net Mvc first.

To expand on @Marco's suggestion: Documentation for ASP.NET Routing; Documentation for ActionLink(). If you're using ASP.NET Core, the format is a bit different.
