unable to send data from view to controller

Question

Hi,

I am doing an mvc application.

I am unable to send data from view to controller.

 

 View   code

@model IEnumerable<studentcourse.Models.course>

<h2>Index</h2>

<ol>

@foreach(var item in Model)

{

<li>@Html.ActionLink(item.coursename,"Details","Home",new {name=item.coursename})</li>

}

</ol>

 

 

 

controller code:

public ViewResult Details(string name)

{

return View(db.students.Where(x=>x.cousename==name.ToString()).ToList());

}

 

 

the parameter value for string name is showing null.

 

thanks in advance
