How do I create the correct route values for this ActionLink?

actionlink, asp.net-mvc, c#, routevalues

Solution

It think it would be better to create another object with the correct values, instead of using (and potentially altering the current routevalues):

<%=Html.ActionLink("Next Page >", "SearchResults", new {
    search = this.Model,
    page = 1 //or whatever
}) %>

Problem

The Model of `SearchResults.aspx` is an instance of `PersonSearch`; when the request for a new page arrive (a GET request), the action method should take it and compute the new results. ``` [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get)] public ActionResult SearchResults(PersonSearch search, int? page) { ViewData["Results"] = new PaginatedList<Person>(_searchService.FindPersons(search), page ?? 0, 1); return View("SearchResults", search); } ``` Then I have to generate the previous/next links: ``` <%= Html.ActionLink("Next Page >", "SearchResults", routeValues) %> ``` If I use `routeValues = ViewData.Model` I can see the object properties passed the address, but I can't add the "page" parameter.
