Is it possible to get the route/virtual url associated with a controller action or on a view? I saw that Preview 4 added LinkBuilder.BuildUrlFromExpression helper, but it's not very useful if you want to use it on the master, since the controller type can be different. Any thoughts are appreciated.
I always try to implement the simplest solution that meets the project requirements. As Enstein said, "Make things as simple as possible, but not simpler." Try this.
<%: Request.Path %>
This worked for me:
<%= this.Url.RouteUrl(this.ViewContext.RouteData.Values) %>
It returns the current Url as such; /Home/About
Maybe there is a simpler way to return the actual route string?
You can get that data from ViewContext.RouteData. Below are some examples for how to access (and use) that information:
/// These are added to my viewmasterpage, viewpage, and viewusercontrol base classes:
public bool IsController(string controller)
{
if (ViewContext.RouteData.Values["controller"] != null)
{
return ViewContext.RouteData.Values["controller"].ToString().Equals(controller, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);
}
return false;
}
public bool IsAction(string action)
{
if (ViewContext.RouteData.Values["action"] != null)
{
return ViewContext.RouteData.Values["action"].ToString().Equals(action, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);
}
return false;
}
public bool IsAction(string action, string controller)
{
return IsController(controller) && IsAction(action);
}
/// Some extension methods that I added to the UrlHelper class.

{
MethodCallExpression call = action.Body as MethodCallExpression;
if (call == null)
{
throw new ArgumentException("Expression must be a method call", "action");
}
return (call.Method.Name.Equals(helper.ViewContext.ViewName, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) &&
typeof(TController) == helper.ViewContext.Controller.GetType());
}

{
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(actionName))
{
throw new ArgumentException("Please specify the name of the action", "actionName");
}

return IsAction(helper, actionName, controllerName);

}
if (!controllerName.EndsWith("Controller", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
{
controllerName = controllerName + "Controller";
}
bool isOnView = helper.ViewContext.ViewName.SafeEquals(actionName, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);
return isOnView && helper.ViewContext.Controller.GetType().Name.Equals(controllerName, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);
}

You can use <%= Url.Action(action, controller, values) %> to build the URL from within the master page.
Are you doing this to maybe highlight a tab for the current page or something?
If so you can use ViewContext from the view and get the values you need.
I wrote a helper class that allows me to access the route parameters. With this helper, you can get the controller, action, and all parameters passed to the action.
