ASP.NET Core Razor Page anchor tag not working inside an Area
I have a set of razor pages at the usual location for an ASP.NET Core project...
/Pages/Index.cshtml
/Pages/About.cshtml
...etc...
They use the usual shared layout file for providing the header and footer content for each page...
/Pages/Shared/_Layout.cshtml
Inside the _Layout.cshtml I have anchor tags in the header and footer sections of the page for going back to the index page, like this...
<a asp-page="About">About</a>
...which generates an actual href of 'http://localhost/About'. This is correct and works just fine. I have since added more razor pages inside an area, like this...
/Areas/Account/Pages/Settings/UserSettings.cshtml
I want the same header and footer display for the Account area pages as for my main pages and so I have set the view start file...
/Areas/Account/_ViewStart.cshtml
...to use the already existing layout, like this...
@
Layout = "/Pages/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
...and sure enough, my UserSettings page now renders the header and footer for the page as expected. With appropriate images and text.
Except for one problem. The anchor tags are not generating the correct href for any razor page inside the Account area. Instead of generating...
href="http://localhost/About"
...it is generating...
href="http://localhost/Account/Settings/UserSettings"
I believe it is generating a default href for the UserSettings page.
Any ideas?

I find that you need to change
<a asp-page="About">About</a>
to
<a asp-page="/About">About</a>
is
Escape character and /
is the Separator.You won't direct correctly in area if you use asp-page="About"
.
