Question

I'm starting to learn ASP.NET MVC, and have a problem, how generate code with Html.ActionLink like this:

<a href="~/Views/Home/Create.cshtml" class="btn btn-primary">
    <i class="icon-pencil icon-white"></i>
    <span>
        <strong>Create</strong>
    </span>            
</a>

Html.ActionLink() only supports plain-text links.

You should use <a href="@Url.Action(...)"> for more-complex links.
