Html.ActionLink and class attribute

How do I set the class attribute in Html.ActionLink. When I include for htmlAttributes: new { class = "border" } I get a compiler error.
This is the full line:

<% = Html.ActionLink("TextLink", "Action", "Controller", new { class = "border" } ) %>

Thanks.

Hi Deshaun Hyram! But You cann't use the word "class" because this is reserved keyword . You can try the variant below. For correct use you should be putting symbol "@" before the keyword "class".

<% = Html.ActionLink("TextLink", "Action", "Controller", new { @class = "border" } ) %>
