How to have a a razor action link open in a new tab?

Question

I trying to get my link to open in a new tab (it must be in razor format):

Answer 1

With Named arguments:

@Html.ActionLink(linkText: "TestTab", actionName: "TestAction", controllerName: "TestController", routeValues: null, htmlAttributes: new { target = "_blank"})

Answer 2

asp.net mvc ActionLink new tab with angular parameter

<a  target="_blank" class="btn" data-ng-href="@Url.Action("RunReport", "Performance")?hotelCode={{hotel.code}}">Select Room</a>

Answer 3

That won't compile since UrlHelper.Action(string,string,object,object) doesn't exist.

UrlHelper.Action will only generate Urls based on the action you provide, not <a> markup. If you want to add an HtmlAttribute (like target="_blank", to open link in new tab) you can either:

• Add the target attribute to the <a> element by yourself:

  <a href="@Url.Action("RunReport", "Performance",
      new { reportView = Model.ReportView.ToString() })",
      target = "_blank" type="submit" id="runReport" class="button Secondary">
      @Reports.RunReport
  </a>
  

• Use Html.ActionLink to generate an <a> markup element:

  @Html.ActionLink("Report View", "RunReport", null, new { target = "_blank" })
  

Answer 4

For

@Url.Action

<a href="@Url.Action("Action", "Controller")" target="_blank">Link Text</a>
