How to resolve a MVC controller not found - 404 error - asp.net-mvc

I can't resolve the 404 I getting and don't understand why I am getting it.

Physical Path
F:\Private\Gbng\ProfileAndOrBlog\Development\GbngWebClient\GbngWebClient\AdminFunctions\BlogMaint\BlogMaint\GetActiveBlogCategorys
My link in my cshtml that I click:
<li>
<i class="fa fa-edit fa-fw"></i> Blog Maintenance
My folder structure is:
My controller code method: GetActiveBlogCategorys().
My view folder structure:
Error: not find view:

if you use mvc core
<a asp-controller="BlogMaint" asp-action="GetActiveBlogCategorys"><i class="fa fa-edit fa-fw"></i> Blog Maintenance</a>
otherwise
<a href="#Url.Action("GetActiveBlogCategorys","BlogMaint")">
<i class="fa fa-edit fa-fw"></i> Blog Maintenance
</a>
I don't see you controller, but if you use http post, then need use submit form and this way don't math you.

ASP.NET MVC how to insert other html element inside #HTML.ActionLink

Normally, i would write something like this:
<li>#Html.ActionLink("Dashboard", "Index", "Account")</li>
To generate this:
Dashboard
What i want to know is whether it is possible to generate the following HTML
<i class="fa fa-dashboard"></i> Dashboard
Without having to create my own custom TagBuilder class.
Thanks for the help.
You can use UrlHelper.Action to generate the url:
<a href="#Url.Action("Index", "Account")">
<i class="fa fa-dashboard"></i> Dashboard
</a>

Write XPath to test a specific navigation link in Rails with Bootstrap

In my Rails 3.2.16 app with a Bootstrap 2.3 navigation list, I want to write a test that confirms that a specific item is active and that it has the right icon. I'm using rspec 2.14.1 and capybara 2.1.0.
I assume the way to do this is with a capybara has_xpath test, but the classes that I need to check ("active" and "fa-folder-open") as well as the actual text ("Inbox") are at different levels of the HTML hierarchy.
Given this HTML:
<ul class="nav nav-list" role="navigation">
<li class="active">
<a href="/messages/my/inbox">
<i class="fa fa-folder-open fa-fw">
</i> Inbox</a>
</li>
<li class="">
<a href="/messages/my/draft">
<i class="fa fa-folder fa-fw">
</i> Draft</a>
</li>
</ul>
is there an XPath that will confirm that the link with text "Inbox" is "active" and has the "fa-folder-open" icon?
EDIT
I copied the example HTML above the XPath tester, where the Format button not only did some pretty formatting, it removed the closing </i> tags. The raw HTML isn't as pretty:
<ul class="nav nav-list" role="navigation">
<li class="active">
<a href="/messages/my/inbox">
<i class="fa fa-folder-open fa-fw"></i> Inbox
</a> </li>
<li class="">
<a href="/messages/my/draft">
<i class="fa fa-folder fa-fw"></i> Draft
</a> </li>
</ul>
Try with:
expect(page).to have_xpath("//li[contains(#class, 'active')//i[contains(text()='Inbox' and contains(#class, 'fa-folder-open')]")
Nicolas' answer was helpful in suggesting that I use contains.
This SO answer helped me see that I can nest the brackets to find nested nodes.
With some trial and error at www.xpathtester.com, I came up with this XPath:
//li[contains(#class,'active') and a[text()=' Inbox' and i[contains(#class,'fa-folder-open')]]]
EDIT
My XPath above wasn't working on the raw HTML (see edited question). The XPath wasn't finding the " Inbox" text, probably due to the line breaks before the <\a> tags. With thanks to this answer's example of normalize-space() without the text() argument, this XPath works:
//li[contains(#class,'active') and a[normalize-space()='Inbox' and i[contains(#class,'fa-folder-open')]]]
Note that it must look for 'Inbox', not ' Inbox'. normalize-space() strips leading and trailing whitespace (including the line breaks that were causing problems), so the leading space must be removed from the text that it is looking for.

Adding custom html into Html.MenuItem link

I use Html.MenuItem helper in asp .net mvc. I want to use html inside link instead of text only. The helper below:
#Html.MenuItem("Announcement", "Index", "Announcement")
generates in html =>
<li> Announcement </li>
but I want to generate an html like =>
<li>
<a href="/Announcement">
<i class="icon-announcement"></i>
<span>Announcement</span>
</a>
</li>
How can I do that?
You can't do that immediately, because the HTML gets stripped if you pass it in as the parameter.
I suggest you do something like the following:
<li>
<a href='#Url.Action("Announcement", "Index")'>
<i class="icon-announcement"></i>
<span>Announcement</span>
</a>
</li>

Links not opening with left click

I am having a bit of a problem with my site, i am trying to add a simple link to an external site, but i can't get the link to open without right clicking and selecting open link.
This is the piece of code
<div class="brick1 odd">
<a href="https://www.google.co.uk/" class="nav-item"</a>
<div class="nav-hover"></div>
<i class="li_shop"></i>
<span>Shop now</span>
</a>
</div>
I know it's most likely something simple but i can't seem to pin it down
Thanks
Aha! The problem is because you are trying to link from an http to an https!
Your anchor tag needs to override the click handler:
<a href="https://www.google.co.uk/" class="nav-item" onclick="return !window.open(this.href,'WINDOW_NAME');" >
Should fix it!
But I would still fix the nesting.
try properly nesting everything, like so:
<div class="brick1 odd">
<a href="https://www.google.co.uk/" class="nav-item" onclick="return !window.open(this.href,'WINDOW_NAME');">
<div class="nav-hover">
<i class="li_shop">
<span>Shop now</span>
</i>
</div>
</a>
</div>
Syntax error
<a href="https://www.google.co.uk/" class="nav-item">
<div class="nav-hover"></div>
<i class="li_shop"></i>
<span>Shop now</span>
</a>

ASP.NET MVC: generating action link with custom html in it

How can I generate action link with custom html inside.
Like following:
<a href="http://blah-blah/.....">
<span class="icon"/>
New customer
</a>
You can use the UrlHelper class :
<a href="<% =Url.Action("Create","Customers") %>">
<span class="icon"/> New customer
</a>
The MSDN link is here : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.mvc.urlhelper.aspx
For newer versions of .net,
replace
href="<% =Url.Action("Create","Customers") %>"
with
href="#Url.Action("Create","Customers")"
to give something like
<a href="#Url.Action("Create","Customers")">
<span class="icon"/> New customer
</a>
