Adding a class to Html.ActionLink doesn't get added as class, but instead as a GET parameter

Question

I honestly can't see why on earth this doesn't work, but here it goes:

@Html.ActionLink("About", "About", "Home", new { @class = "nav-link" }, null)

This should produce:

<a href="/Home/About" class="nav-link">About</a>

But instead it produces:

<a href="/Home/About?class=nav-link">About</a>

All the annotations for adding a class to an ActionLink, tells me to do it that way. What am I doing wrong?

Could you remove `, null`? The overload that takes 4 arguments should be the correct one. Try: https://stackoverflow.com/a/21196582/1661209 — Max, Dec 30 '17 at 16:02

Ah, apparently it's supposed to be:

@Html.ActionLink("About", "About", "Home", new object {}, new { @class = "nav-link" })

Weird.

`null` instead of `new object {}` should work as well. – Max Dec 30 '17 at 16:04
@Max Definitely yeah. – MortenMoulder Dec 30 '17 at 16:04
