@Html.ActionLink, @Url.Action do not work in asp.net core razor view

Question

I am trying to use the @Html.ActionLink and @Url.Action in my razor pages.

for this I have the following code in my view

<div Id="SetLanguageUrl" value="@Url.Action("SetLanguage", "Language")"></div>
@Html.ActionLink("Test", "SetLanguage", "Language")

I do not get an error on this, but both do not resolve the url as can be seen in the browser development tools screenshot.

Anybody know what I could be missing?

Ok, this has been very frustrating but here is the solution.

In Startup.cs - configure I had the following:

        app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
        {
            endpoints.MapControllers();
        });

When I change this to:

        app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
        {
            endpoints.MapControllerRoute(
                name: "default",
                pattern: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
        });

It seems to work.

You can change it to endpoints.MapDefaultControllerRoute();, if you dont need to modify the default route.

Thank you, that does indeed work and is more concise.
