Simplest thing to do is send a ViewBag parameter from your controllers like following;

public ActionResult About()
    {            
        ViewBag.Current = "About";
        return View();
    }


    public ActionResult Contact()
    {            
        ViewBag.Current = "Contact";
        return View();
    }

In the cshtml page do the following;

           
                    
                
@Html.ActionLink("About", "About", "Home")
                
@Html.ActionLink("Contact", "Contact", "Home")
