How to set a name to the TITLE of a newly opened tab from the @Html.ActionLink cshtml page

Question

My current code in Index.cshtml page:

@Html.ActionLinks(@Html.ActionLink(objList.Name, "Name", "ControllerName", new {Id=objList.Id}, new {target = "_blank"}))

The above code makes me to open a page(Name.cshtml) in a new tab after clicking a link in the Index page. But my goal is to assign a name(objList.Name) as a Title for the new tab. So, I added the Title attribute in the following code but it is not working as expected.

 @Html.ActionLinks(@Html.ActionLink(objList.Name, "Name", "ControllerName", new {Id=objList.Id}, new {target = "_blank", title = objList.Name}))

How to acheive this?

Yes - add that markup to your cshtml page - you dont need any of that extra code in Action Link — Ctrl_Alt_Defeat, Apr 18 '13 at 07:27

You have to pass the objList.Name as a parameter to the "Name" action, in this action you can include the name in the Viewbag:

ViewBag.MyTitle = nameParameter;

And in the "Name" view:

<title>@ViewBag.MyTitle</title>

If you are using a Layout page, you only have to put this in the "name" action:

ViewBag.Title = nameParameter;

Because in your layout view you probably have this:

<title>@ViewBag.Title</title>

The 'title' in your code is adding a mouseover title on the link, I think.

To have the title in the tab, use the solution from carlos (put the title tag and viewbag prop in your viewpage).

Just add the Name into the RouteValueDictionary, add it to your ActionResult and then set ViewBag.Title.

First, change your ActionLink to be:

Html.ActionLinks(@Html.ActionLink(objList.Name, "Name", "ControllerName", new {Id=objList.Id, Name=objList.Name}, new {target = "_blank"}))

Then create a model (if you don't have one on the Name table), something like:

public class MyModel
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

Then change your Name ActionResult to be:

    public ActionResult Name(int Id, string Name)
    {
        MyModel model = new MyModel 
        {
            Id = Id,
            Name = Name
        };

        return View(model);
    }

Then add the model to your Name view:

@model MyModel

Then set ViewBag.Title in the Name view:

ViewBag.Title = Model.Name;
