  • LinkText: "Dashboard"
  • ActionName: "index"

  • ControllerName: "dashboard"

    @Html.ActionLink("Dashboard", "index", "dashboard")

If you are using areas to group controllers into different areas you would need.

@Html.ActionLink("Dashboard", "index", "dashboard", new { area = "YourAreaName"})

You need to include the controller name in your action link:

@Html.ActionLink("Dashboard","Index","DashBoard")

If you leave out the controllerName, then the links will be constructed with the current controller. Since you navigated to the AccountController, the link that was supposed to point to the DashboardController broke.

In shared areas (like navigation), you'll usually want to include the controller reference.

Use this overload

@Html.ActionLink("New Project","NewProject","DashBoard")

this is the format

public static MvcHtmlString ActionLink( this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, string linkText, string actionName, string controllerName )

Thank you my friend, but it work for only NewProject link but not for DashBoard Index :(
Did you use the same overload for the link for Index action ?

Take a look closely, I think you did not put the controller for the "NewProject" and "Index" methods

try replacing

@Html.ActionLink("New Project","NewProject")

for

@Html.ActionLink("New Project","NewProject", "DashBoard")

and 

@Html.ActionLink("Dashboard","Index")

for

@Html.ActionLink("Dashboard","Index", "DashBoard")
