Why @Url.Action generates browser's URL on a tag? My local browser URL is http://localhost:26377/Users/details/1

I want to remove unnecessary parameter which is autogenerated from @Url.Action. My code is

<a href="@Url.Action("details", "Users")" class="btn btn-light  add-new">Add</a>

and after rendering page it shows

<a href="/Users/details/1" class="btn btn-light  add-new">Add</a>

Expected result:

<a href="/Users/details" class="btn btn-light  add-new">Add</a>

I assume that the method that generated that view (where your `` element is has an `int id` parameter and that you passed it a value of `1` – Nov 21 '18 at 05:45
Can you provide the `Details` method in `Users` controller? I think the problem comes from `[Route]` attribute. – Tân Nov 21 '18 at 05:48
This is controller public ActionResult Details(int id = 0) { return View(); } – Abhijeet Nov 21 '18 at 05:54

@StephenMuecke You're right: `int id = 0` – Tân Nov 21 '18 at 05:57
So what is resolution for the same? MVC is totally new for me. – Abhijeet Nov 21 '18 at 05:59

You would be getting that result if the `{id}` segment is not marked as optional. You can solve it by making it optional, or by using `@Url.Action("details", "Users", new { id = "" })` – Nov 21 '18 at 06:02
Thank you so much @TânNguyễn for your valuable help – Abhijeet Nov 21 '18 at 06:05
Thank you so much @StephenMuecke for your valuable help. I preferred this @Url.Action("details", "Users", new { id = "" }) and my code works properly. – Abhijeet Nov 21 '18 at 06:10
