MVC3 Html.ActionLink Post

Question

I have a MVC3 C # .NET web application and need to call a view using Html.ActionLink. I cannot tell from the documentation if I can specify POST or GET. Below is my HTML, is there any way to specify GET or POST?

@Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Edit", "Subtask", new {Id = ViewBag.Id, Command="CreateHourEntry"}, null) 

Answer 1

If you want to use the Ajax.ActionLink post, but be careful about the Ajax post. You can easily use jquery to link your existing link with a form post, but this feature is not included in Html.ActionLink.

See ASP.NET MVC ActionLink and Submission Method

Answer 2

HTML hyperlinks send a GET.

In POST, you need to use a form.
_{or some javascript}

Answer 3

You can also use Ajax.ActionLink, where you can specify POST or GET

 @Ajax.ActionLink("Create New", "Edit", "Subtask", new AjaxOptions{ HttpMethod="Post"})
