ASP.NET MVC HtmlHelper.ActionLink replace %20 with +

Question

If I have a url generated like this ``` <%=Html.ActionLink("Link name", "MyAction", "MyController", new { SomeParameter = "value with spaces" })%> ``` is it possible to easily generate the output html like so ``` ``` instead of ``` ``` Or am I best looking at overloading the ActionLink method and replacing those characters when returning the string?

Yes.

The easier way is to just make a space-dash replacer extension method. Or just call Replace manually.

```
<%=Html.ActionLink("Link name", "MyAction", "MyController", new { SomeParameter = "value with spaces".Replace(" ", "-" })%>
```
