Invalid anonymous type member declarator. Anonymous type members must be declared with a member assignment, simple name or member access

Question

I\'m trying to add additional attribute data-icon to my Action Link, but I\'m getting the error below:

Invalid anonymous type member

Answer 1

I just use the following

@using System.Web.Routing

@{
    RouteValueDictionary RouteValues = new RouteValueDictionary();

    RouteValues["id"] = 11;
    RouteValues[Some_Name] = Some_Value; //do this with as many name/value pairs 
                                         //as you like
}

@Html.ActionLink("Link Text", "Action", "Controller", RouteValues)

which I learnt from Jon's answer in this post.

I have mainly used this in my controllers to provide the route values for RedirectToAction() methods, but i don't see why it shouldn't work in your view, you will need to add a @using System.Web.Routing; though.
