title: ActionLink CS1026: ) expected
body: <p>I get the above error whenever I try and use ActionLink ? I've only just started playing around with MVC and don't really understand what it's problem is with the code (below):</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;%= Html.ActionLink("Lists", "Index", "Lists"); %&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This just seems to be a parsing issue but it only happens when I run the page. The application builds perfectly fine, so I really don't get it because the error is a compilation error? If I take line 25 out it will happen on the next line instead...</p>
