ActionLink and passing in url parameters

Question

If I put @Model.JamesID above this line, it outputs 26...

If I put it as below, the url has Length=4 added to it? Why is this?

<li>@Html.ActionLink("James's list", "JamesList", "James", new { jamesID = @Model.JamesID })</li>

The controller is as so:

    public ViewResult JamesList(int jamesID)
    {
        James james = jamesRepository.GetByID(jamesID);
        return View(james);
    }

<li>@Html.ActionLink("James's list", "JamesList", "James", new { jamesID = @Model.JamesID }, null)</li>

You need to add null after your parameters, since it is expecting one more parameter as there is no overloaded method.

See this answer for explanation.
