Convert ActionResult to a URL string in a static method

Question

When I have access to UrlHelper I can convert an ActionResult to a string (i.e. the actual URL) like this: urlHelper.RouteUrl(actionResult.GetRouteValueDictionary());

How can I do that same from a static method where I don't have access to UrlHelper? Thanks.

Answer 1

Just add a using statement for System.Web.Mvc, and create an instance of the UrlHelper class in your static method.
