Hyperlink in MVC3

Question

I have this in MVC3 Razor.. I want to make this a hyperlink..so users can click on it. Right now it just prints the text of the URL in the view.. thanks for your help.

   <td>
        @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.WebLink)
    </td>

Thanks to Richard, heres the solution..

  @{
       var link = @item.WebLink;
       if (link != null)
       {
           if (!link.StartsWith("http://"))
            { 
               link = "http://"+link;
            }
       }
     }

        <a href="@link">@item.WebLink</a>

You should try:

<a href="@item.WebLink">@item.WebLink</a>

OK from you comment you will need this:

@{
   var link = @item.WebLink;
   if (!link.StartsWith("http://")) { link = "http://"+link; }
}

<a href="@link">@item.WebLink</a>

But the click is not taking me to the google URL.. its actually taking me to localhost:2323/Controller/ActionName/www.google.com.. anything I am missing?

You are missing the paranthesis.. I modified a little bit.. this works best. Thank you for showing me the right way to do this..I edited the original post also.. @{ var link = @item.WebLink; if (link != null) { if (!link.StartsWith("http://")) { link = "http://"+link; } } } <a href="@link">@item.WebLink</a>

You can simply use:

<td><a href="@item.WebLink">@item.WebLink</a></td>

Assuming item is the variable name within your for loop.

This works for me:

@{
    string site = "www.google.com";
}

<a href="http://@site"> Go to the site @site </a>
