ASP.NET MVC - Current Page highlighting in navigation

Question

I\'m wondering how is it possible to add a CSS Class to the current page in your navigation when using ASP.NET MVC 3? Here is my navigation in my _Layout.cshtml file:

<

Answer 1

@{
   var controller = ViewContext.RouteData.Values["controller"].ToString();
   var action = ViewContext.RouteData.Values["action"].ToString();
   var isActiveController = new Func((ctrl, act, activeStyle, inactiveStyle) => controller == ctrl && action == act ? activeStyle : inactiveStyle);
 }

Then in your class attribute in your HTML you can do:

class="@isActiveController("controlername","action","activecssstyleclass","inactiveccsstyle")"

Just an other way of @dknaack his answer.. bit more generic and less functionality to repeat in your code.
