putting @Html.DisplayFor in @Html.ActionLink

Question

in asp.net mvc, I have a view with name index that show one html table as a grid. suppose this is this my html table:

<table>
<tr>
    <th>
        Caption
    </th>
    <th></th>
</tr>
@foreach (var item in Model) {
<tr>
    <td>
        @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Caption)
    </td>
    <td>
        @Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id=item.CityId }) |
        @Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", new { id=item.CityId }) |
        @Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { id=item.CityId }) |
    </td>
</tr>
}
</table>

now I want put @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Caption) in the text of @Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id=item.CityId })

but i give an error from mvc.

Seeing what doesn't work will be more helpful than seeing what does work. Show us the code that you tried that's broken. It's likely just the inclusion of the `@` symbol from your description, but hard to say. — Eli Gassert, Jan 18 '13 at 20:17

Just use the correct method overload, like this:

@Html.ActionLink(item.Caption, "Edit", "Edit", new { id=item.CityId }, null)
