Published: 10/31/2022 1:06:00 PMDotVVM Tips is a series of short articles showing interesting features of DotVVM. To learn more, visit our Docs site.
DotVVM syntax is different from Razor. Instead of concatenating parts of URLs, the RouteLink component can build links to other pages from the route name and its parameters.
// Razor
<a href="myorders/@item.OrderId"
class="btn btn-success">
Track >
</a>
// DotVVM
<dot:RouteLink RouteName="OrderDetails"
Param-id="{value: OrderId}"
class="btn btn-success">
Track >
</dot:RouteLink>
The routes are registered in DotvvmStartup.cs file, and you can supply any parameters using the Param-* properties.
