The Html.RouteLink() HtmlHelper works great for text links. But what\'s the best way to link an image?
This is an updated version that I have from MiniScalope answer above. I'm using VS2010 and ASP.Net MVC 2 Preview
public static string ImageLink(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, string imgSrc, string alt, string actionName, string controllerName, object routeValues, object htmlAttributes, object imgHtmlAttributes)
{
UrlHelper urlHelper = ((Controller)htmlHelper.ViewContext.Controller).Url;
TagBuilder imgTag = new TagBuilder("img");
imgTag.MergeAttribute("src", imgSrc);
imgTag.MergeAttributes((IDictionary<string, string>) imgHtmlAttributes,true);
string url = urlHelper.Action(actionName, controllerName, routeValues);
TagBuilder imglink = new TagBuilder("a");
imglink.MergeAttribute("href", url);
imglink.InnerHtml = imgTag.ToString();
imglink.MergeAttributes((IDictionary<string, string>)htmlAttributes, true);
return imglink.ToString();
}
<%= Html.RouteLink("PLACEHOLDER", ...).Replace("PLACEHOLDER", "<img src=""..."" alt=""..."" />")%>
