Cannot display ActionLink as icon

Question

User657329123 posted

Hello,

In my view, I have following. I'm trying to display an icon instead of text link but I don't see icon. What am I doing wrong?

@Html.ActionLink(" X ", "ActionName","ControllerName", new { id = Model.Id, fileId = file.ReceiptId }, new { @title = "Delete", @class = "glyphicon glyphicon-trash" })

You are not following the syntax found in the reference documentation.

Use HTML rather than an Action link.  The font icons expects an inline tag like a <span>.
