Introduction: This is a sample application which can be use a smart card for verifying the employee in an organization by comparing his/her image while entering details. For this purpose, the user can use ActionLink to navigate the page to verify the image of the employee. In this case the user will have two different views and with the help of ActionLink, the user will navigate or move from one view to the next view that will be of image.

Now manipulate the code of the class as per the user requirements

using System;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using System.Linq;
 using System.Web;
 namespace PCimage.Models
{
    public class P
    {
        public string Name
        {
            get;
            set;
        }
        public int Eid
        {
            get;
            set;
        }
         public string Designation
       {
            get;
            set;
        }
    }
}

Step 3: Now to control the model class and view add controller by performing the following steps.

Now code the controller according to the requirement

using System;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using System.Linq;
 using System.Web;
 using System.Web.Mvc;
 using PCimage.Models;
 namespace PCimage.Controllers
{
    public class CController : Controller
    {
        //
        // GET: /C/
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            P detials = new P();
             return View(detials);
       }
        public ActionResult Image()
        {
            P detials = new P();
            return View(detials);
        }
    }
}

Step 4: After working on Model and Controller now add view for the action method.

Code the View Index.aspx first

<%@ Page Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<PCimage.Models.P>" %>
 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
 <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
 <head id="Head1" runat="server">
    <title></title>
 </head>
<body>
    <div>
 <h2>Smart card</h2>
 <%= Html.ValidationSummary("PLz Try Again")%>
 <% using (Html.BeginForm()) {%>
 <fieldset>
<p>
<label for="Name">Name:</label>
 <%= Html.TextBox("Name") %>
 <%= Html.ValidationMessage("Name","*") %>
 </p>
<p>
<label for="Eid">Eid:</label>
 <%= Html.TextBox("Eid") %> 
</p>
<p>
<label for="Designation">Designation:</label>
 <%= Html.TextBox("Designation") %>
 </p>
</fieldset>
<div id="menucontainer">
 </div><p><%: Html.ActionLink("Show image of the person to verify the identity", "Image", "C")%></p>
 <% } %>
 </div>
</body>
</html>

Now before Coding the View Image.aspx copy image to solution explorer as shown

<%@ Page Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<PCimage.Models.P>" %>
 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
 <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
 <head runat="server">
    <title>Image</title>
 </head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
           <asp:Image ID="Image1" runat="server" Height="302px"
            ImageUrl="~/600px-Smiley.jpeg.png" Width="261px" />
   </div>
  </form>
 </body>
</html>
