I want to have a url link like: /Posts/Post/1#comments
Where: Posts - controller name, Post - action name, 1 - id parameter
I am using following code in my View:
<a href="@Url.Action("Post", "Posts", new { id = @item.PostId + "#comments" })">Comments</a> As a result I have: /Posts/Post/1%23comments
What to do to pass '#' char instead of "%23"?
you're looking for:
<a href="@Url.Action("Post", "Posts", new { id = item.PostId })#comments" ...></a> # is for hash, so to send it server-side (which Url.Action is expecting) means encoding it. If you're looking to supplement the client experience, don't include it in your Url.Action (or create a special overload that accepts a fragment identifier and outputs it un-touched).
for that data to be part of the action, %23 is correct; if the # represents a fragment - it isn't part of the "action". A # in a url denotes the client-side fragment - typically used for jumping to an element in a document by id (the server never sees anything after the # in a url)
See also: c# (look at the url)
#comments separately: href="@(Url.Action(...))#comments"You can also use Html.ActionLink with proper oveload (fragment parameter) instead of building link manually.
@Html.ActionLink( "Comments", "Post", "Posts", null, null, "comments", // fragment part new { id = @item.PostId }, new { })
