What is the easist way to add a file extension to a link/string C# MVC
I have a page that I am embedding a pdf in. I am producing a @Html.DisplayFor(model => model.TopLvlJobs.Drawing) as part of the link path. It is a drawing number and in a file I have a corresponding pdf with the same name. Depending on what page they are on this number will change. These do not have a .pdf extension on them. In Php, I believe that you could do something like this:
<a href="/this/folder/.'some data string'.'.pdf">get file</a>
Is there something similar in C# to use so that I can add the .pdf extension on to whatever is pulled from the database? Or do I have to rename 1000s of records with the actual extension in the data table...
Thanks for your help!

Thank you! Also if you could point me in the direction as to how to get the imbedded pdf to show the whole thing without having to put a hard height on the item that would be great. I tried style width 100%, that works but the height at 100% seems to be ignored. It comes up with a scroll bar and the height is maybe 10% of the pdf size. I want it to be able to shrink if viewed on a tablet or phone, hence the %. Thanks again.

Here is the code on the page for the pdf. Like I said it is there but I have to force the height to see the whole pdf and % doesn't work. <embed src="~/Content/Pdfs/@(Model.TopLvlJobs.Drawing).pdf" style="width:100%; height:700px;" type="application/pdf">
