DotVVM syntax is different from Razor. Instead of concatenating parts of URLs, the RouteLink component can build links to other pages from the route name and its parameters.

// Razor
<a href="myorders/@item.OrderId" 
   class="btn btn-success">
    Track &gt;
</a>

// DotVVM
<dot:RouteLink RouteName="OrderDetails" 
               Param-id="{value: OrderId}"
               class="btn btn-success">
    Track &gt;
</dot:RouteLink>

The routes are registered in DotvvmStartup.cs file, and you can supply any parameters using the Param-* properties.
