ASP.NET MVC: Route to URL
- by JamesBrownIsDead
What's the easiest way to get the URL (relative or absolute) to a Route in MVC? I saw this code here on SO but it seems a little verbose and doesn't enumerate the RouteTable.
Example:
List<string> urlList = new List<string>();
urlList.Add(GetUrl(new { controller = "Help", action = "Edit" }));
urlList.Add(GetUrl(new { controller = "Help", action = "Create" }));
urlList.Add(GetUrl(new { controller = "About", action = "Company" }));
urlList.Add(GetUrl(new { controller = "About", action = "Management" }));
With:
protected string GetUrl(object routeValues)
{
RouteValueDictionary values = new RouteValueDictionary(routeValues);
RequestContext context = new RequestContext(HttpContext, RouteData);
string url = RouteTable.Routes.GetVirtualPath(context, values).VirtualPath;
return new Uri(Request.Url, url).AbsoluteUri;
}
What's a better way to examine the RouteTable and get a URL for a given controller and action?
