MVC3 Html.ActionLink Post

Question

I have an MVC3 C#.NET web app and need to call a view using Html.ActionLink. I can't tell from the documentation if I can specify the POST or GET. Below is my HTML, is there a way to specify GET or POST?

 @Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Edit", "Subtask", 
                        new {Id = ViewBag.Id, Command="CreateHourEntry"}, null)

If you want a post use Ajax.ActionLink but be aware it's an Ajax post. You could easily use jquery to cause your existing link to cause a form post but this functionality is not included in Html.ActionLink.

See ASP.NET MVC ActionLink and post method

HTML hyperlinks send GETs.

To POST, you need to use a form.
_{or some Javascript}

Use `@using (Html.BeginForm(...))` – SLaks Dec 07 '11 at 21:31

You can also use Ajax.ActionLink where you can specify POST or GET

@Ajax.ActionLink("Create New", "Edit", "Subtask",
                  new AjaxOptions{ HttpMethod="Post"})
