copied!<p>The issue you are going to have is if the name is blank, there is nothing to click on for the user in the UI. Example: <code><a href="someUrl"></a></code> gives no clickable object.</p> <p>What may be better is if you could provide a default "No Name" string to those rows that have an empty string.</p> <pre><code>@foreach (var row in Model) { <li>@Html.ActionLink(string.isNullOrEmpty(row.Name) ? "No Name" : row.Name, "Action", "Controller", new { id = row.Id })</li> } </code></pre> <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p> <p>If you do not want to put a condition in every @Html.ActionLink, you can create your own @Html.Helper</p> <pre><code> public static IHtmlString ActionLinkCheckNull(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, string linkText, string action, string controller, object routeValues, object htmlAttributes) { var urlHelper = new UrlHelper(htmlHelper.ViewContext.RequestContext); var anchor = new TagBuilder("a") { InnerHtml = string.IsNullOrEmpty(linkText) ? "No Name", linktext }; anchor.Attributes["href"] = urlHelper.Action(action, controller, routeValues); anchor.MergeAttributes(new RouteValueDictionary(htmlAttributes)); return MvcHtmlString.Create(anchor.ToString()); } </code></pre> <p>Then in your Views folder web.config, add a reference to the namespace that you place this extension so you don't have to have a using statement at the top of every view. Example:</p> <pre><code><add namespace="Core.Extensions"/> </code></pre> <p>Then in your views, use</p> <pre><code> @Html.ActionLinkCheckNull(row.Name, "Action", "Controller", new { id = row.Id }) </code></pre>
