Getting Absolute URL fron an ASP.NET MVC Action

Question

This probably is a dummy question but I cannot find a clear indication. I have a POCO class in a MVC3 web application whose only purpose is managing the backup of some files

Answer 1

The built-in helpers in MVC 4 create absolute URLs if either the host or protocol parameters are non-empty. See this answer here with an example extension method for use in views.
