Calling a controller action MVC5

Question

Ok so I got action that is in controller and code is:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult SaveRow(int? id)
{
    //some db operations.
    return RedirectToAction("Index");
}

and in view I got

@Html.ActionLink(Translation.Accept, "SaveRow", new { id = item.New.RecId })

I got error 404 when I click button is possible to run this action without redirecting to url /SaveRow/ ? Maybe this button is used wrong I'm new in mvc5 so be patient.

Links are `GET`, you have marked the method as `POST`. Use [a form](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd492590(v=vs.118).aspx) to reach it. — GSerg, Oct 01 '14 at 08:21

As documented here :-

2.An hyperlink or anchor tag that points to an action will ALWAYS be an HttpGet.

Try below code putting GET, as by default it takes [HttpGet] so remove [HttpPost] attribute

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult SaveRow(int? id)
{
    //some db operations.
    return RedirectToAction("Index");
}

and as an ideal design of MVC I would suggest you to use @Html.BeginForm to access pertiular POST call of edit functionailty

Using [HttpGet] - think you missed that from the code. – Ryan McDonough Oct 01 '14 at 08:22

by default it takes [HttpGet] @RyanMcDonough – Neel Oct 01 '14 at 08:22
Always worth adding so you can see at a glance, aslo you can override the default so if that happened it would still be GET. – Ryan McDonough Oct 01 '14 at 08:24
