Answer 1

Another thing to note, since you are defining the controller in the @ActionLink, which you may not need to do, for example, the view that your "Create New Profile" @ActionLink is expressed in might be "/admin/profile/index.cshtml", a view that lists existing profiles, in this case, you do not need to define the controller in the @ActionLink as the @ActionLink is already relative to the ProfileController, so your @ActionLink could be

@Html.ActionLink("Create New Profile", "Create", null, new { @class="toplink" })

I used null instead of new{} as the marked answer does, I think this is more appropriate myself. ActionLink overloads are not the most straightforward thing ever.
